Messages expire after - Group Policy

We use Outlook 2003 Group Policy to control a number of items. We've
stopped people using commas as address separators, as we use commas in
our internal names. However, when we enable this feature, it also
enables the "Messages Expires After" feature, and we have to set a
number on this. 0 days sets all messages to expire at infinity. However
I'd like users to be able to choose this option themselves, rather than
policy setting it. Is there any way to remove this feature from group
policy, while retaining all the other settings?

Thanks
 
I hate those multi-option policy setting dialogs, too. You'd have to either modify the Outlk11.adm administrative file (not recommended) or create your own .adm file with the settings you want to manage independently. Use the existing .adm file as a guide.
