Vista - Outlook Web Access 2003

Hi, My college runs Outlook Web Access 2003 with Word 2003 as it's editor.
With my new Vista system which uses Word 2007, when I try to reply or create
a new msg in Outlook's Web Access email I get a page with the regular to,
from , cc, bcc...etc... but only a small red x for the body of the msg. I'm
pretty sure it's because of the different editor's. Is there anyway to
change the editor to Wordpad or even Notepad? Or does it have to be done on
the college's end? Thanks!

thats a known bug in Exchange, it needs to be patched

A workaround is to use the "Basic" client instead of the "Premium" when you
login.

Thanks for the replies. Troy, Is it the college that needs to apply the
patch on their servers?

LaRoux, Unfortunately the web access doesn't give me a choice when I log in,
since the only way to get on is through the college's web site.

The patch needs to go on the Exchange Server and the OWA server I believe.
It can't be fixed from the client side
