"Do you want to save changes?" after editing email

[Trisha]

I'm using Windows and Office XP Pro, and in Outlook I am
composing messages in Rich Text format, and have selected
the "use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages" and "use
MS Word to read Rich Text messages" options.

When I make any changes to an e-mail that has been sent
to me, upon closing the e-mail, a pop up window appears
asking me if I want to save changes (just like when you
make any changes to a Word document). Annoying! I'd like
to get rid of this feature.
Thank you,
Trish

Regardless of whether or not Word is set as you editor or what message
format you have set, you will be prompted for this if you make changes to an
item and close it.
