Blank HTML email message after IE7 upgrade

[Mr. 53]

I am running Office 2003 Pro. I normally use Microsoft Word as my editor in
Outlook. After upgrading to IE7 I noticed one of the HTML newsletters I
received would not render in the mail message window when I tried to forward
it. All I could see was a blank message. Turning off Word as my editor
fixed the problem. Has anyone else seen a problem like this with a Word /
Outlook / IE7 combination? The origional message is fine when I open it .
The blank mail messge only comes up when I try to forward.

I forgot to mention that Office 2003 has all the latest updates and IE7 is
released version 7.0.5730.11

Thanks.
