"add digital signature to outgoing messages"

Recently, we pushed Office 2003 to several test users via Group Policy, using
a custom MST file built with the Office 2003 Resource Kit Customization
Wizard. Part of the wizard allowed us to set "always digitally sign
messages" for Outlook 2003, which we did.

Now, users are complaining that they can't uncheck that option to send an
unsigned message for non-work related email, and we can't take that option
off!

I've checked MS.support.com with no success, checked for registry settings,
removed Off2K3 via Group Policy then reinstalled it with the modified MST,
removed it all MANUALLY then reinstalled via GP with the modified MST
("always sign" unconfigured, per default), all with no success.

The option to sign is on by default, grayed out, and cannot be changed via
message toolbar or in security options. I have GOT to turn this "always"
option off! Any suggestions?
