me tendría que advertir en primer lugar: que no hay destinatario para enviar el mensaje

Expected results English:

I should note first: there is no recipient to send the messag

Thanks, that's what I figured from the Spanish above.

So, the problem (and I can reproduce on 17.0.3) is that an empty subject without providing any recipients will first produce the "empty subject" warning, allowing you to "send" it with an empty subject, which results in the "no recipients" error and the message won't be sent in the end.

Thus, the "no recipients" error should outweigh any warnings (especially such which claim to actually send the message), thus only that error dialog shown and all other prior checks and warnings omitted.

If my comment #2 correctly says what you want to achieve, then your bug is a duplicate of long-standing bug 68784 (which actually has a patch already up and received positive feedback, so this issue may be resolved fairly soon).

Yes, looks like dupe of 68784. And I should get back to fixing that one :)
