Group Policy and Word as e-mail editor

I have restricted Word as the email editor via Group Policy on a Terminal
Services / Citrix box per the recommended installation guidelines.

However, since this feature was turned on by default during the
installation... when users go to read email messages they receive the error...

"Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is
unavailable, not installed, or is not the same version as Outlook. The
Outlook e-mail editor will be used instead."

You can say OK to the message.

Is there a way to bypass this error without disabling the the policy I just
put in place, turning it off for each user separately, and then putting it
back in place?

Additionally, when the user receives this error, it will not allow them to
print the message either.

Thanks!

Outlook Profiler may help setting the switches that affect this
as if a tech was setting it up.
 
the editor is set via a registry key - so it might work to disable it via a
logon script.
