How to stop automatic links

Whenever I type text into outlook that includes an @ symbol, Outlook
turns it into a link. That is extremely annoying - how do I turn it
off?

For example, if I want to talk about the name attribute of a book
element, I write "book@name", so outlook underlines it and turns it
blue as if it thinks it's an e-mail address. It isn't and I can't stop
Outlook from doing its thing unless I go to plan text e-mail.
 

Outlook 2003 SP 3.
Try tools, options, spelling, autocorrect settings, autoformat tab.

Tried that, didn't help. I always have auto formatting turned off
anyway.

Seems if I change the mail format from HTML to RTF, it stops doing it.
Makes no sense to me, I think I'll go for plain text.
