Default Any way to have something like OL2007 Form Regions in OL2003?

What I was looking for was something similar to a custom task pane (in all
other apps), or form regions, but they appear to be only available in OL
2007. In my case, I want to add a form I designed to the message
view/task/calendar whatever, as well as the message itself if it is opened.

I am sure that it can be done, because I've seen addins which do this, but,
I fear it may be similar to the situation when I went to replace a washer in
a kitchen sink (I ended up with pretty much a new kitchen). In other words,
the effort to accomplish it led from one thing to another, and the effort
proved to be much more substantial then I had first thought.

I know there are some third party libraries that allow similar functionality
(AddIns Express). If anyone has any comments on that one specifically, I'd
be interested in hearing about it.

Thank you in advance

Addin Express is very good, they had some issues early on, but my addins
have been working well with the latest versions of ADX and their support is
awesome. Form regions for Outlook 2000-2007 done easily.
