Default detecting when Word is being used to compose email ?
Perfect, thanks Michael. That raises another question. How do I find out
the version of Outlook they're using, so I know in which registry path to
look? I believe this option was eliminated in Outlook 2007, so I'd need to
know whether to search in 11.0/10.0/9.0 in my case. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark

You can read the setting from the registry, e.g. Outlook 03:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Options\Mail\EditorPreference

no Word: '0x00010000'
use Word: '0x00010001'

How can I determine the state of this Outlook option:

Tools / Options... / Mail Format / Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail
messages

? Can I detect this from my installation program somehow? How about
from
my add-in?

Thanks,
