I tested this with IMP v4.1.4 and Firefox.  If I have no recipients 
specified, IMP tosses a warning and won't send the message.  If I have no 
Subject, I get a Javascript popup asking if I want to proceed.  Otherwise, 
the message is sent.

Personally, I don't know if there is a way to prevent the web browser from 
capturing the Enter key and using it to submit the form.  I know that is 
the default behavior with web forms.
