I think those two settings are mutually exclusive. In other words, if you mandate an encoding with the first setting, Outlook can't auto-select.

I am trying to deploy the following Outlook 2003 settings via group policy:

Auto-select encoding for outgoing messages - Enabled
Encoding for outgoing messages - Enabled.

But when I configure "Encoding for outgoing messages - Enabled", the setting
"Auto-select encoding for outgoing messages" is ignored and on the client
side is applied as Disabled, although I have set it to Enabled. When I
configure "Encoding for outgoing messages - Not Configured", the setting
"Auto-select encoding for outgoing messages" works as expected. Is this some
kind of a bug?
