For Word 2003, MS has put these entries in the Registry where they have
belonged for years. The trouble is that I do not know what actually puts the
correct entries in there, and editing the registry can be dangerous unless
you know what you are doing.

But you need to ensure that the folowing Key is in your Registry:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem

You then need the follwing value (at least) within that key:

Name: MAPIX
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: 1

You may also need some of the other ones you may have in your WIN.INI, e.g.

Name: CMC
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: 1

Name: CMCDLLNAME
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: mapi.dll

Name: CMCDLLNAME32
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: mapi32.dll

Name: MAPI
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: 1

Name: MAPIXVER
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: 1.0.0.1

Name: Olemessaging
Type: String Value (REG_SZ)
Value: 1
