Outlook 2007 does not start any more after automatic update

[helli]

I have running Office 2007 BETA including Outlook on my computer. I kept my
old Office 2003 version isntalled except for outlook (since this is not
possible). Still, the automatic update just installed the latest update for
the outlool 2003 junk email filter. That caused office 2007 to fail on
startup with the error message "Either there is no default client or the
current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run
Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client."

Running the Office 2007 BETA installation file and selecting "repair" solved
the isse.

Same problem - had to perform system restore. On automatic updates you can
select update not to install (under custom install) and select "Do not notify
me again of this update" - however this particular one (junk mail filter)
keeps coming back. Had to turn off automatic updates.

Expected behavior. Anyone running Office 2007 beta software should turn off
automatic Office updates. Beta software is not included in automatic
updates.
