Default Outlook 2003 or 2007 ? which one?

Hello Folks,

Company wants me to create an add-ins for Microsoft Outlook. They (company)
asked me to decide whether Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007
would be better.

Management would be happy if I go with Microsoft Outlook 2003 because they
don't need to buy licenses to update Microsoft Operating system as well as
Microsoft Office/ Outlook 2007 (Currently they are running Microsoft Windows
2000 Prof. on client machine with Microsoft Office 2003).

As a developer I will face lots of limitation with Microsoft Outlook 2003
COM because my requirement is as follow:
1. Read a Mail (with internet header) and
2. Send it across through web service, which will save it to the database.
Both operations must be done without showing security dialog box that
Microsoft Outlook 2003 gives.

Now what I’ve gathered on 2007 development forum/ and available codes that
we can achieve both easily in Microsoft Outlook 2007.

If I go for Outlook 2003, obviously I've a choice of redemption. But I am
not sure if it is easy to get Internet header through it... (I tried to use
SaveAs(…) option but it does not store entire header that I am looking for -
RFC 822 format) .

What would you suggest me here – go for outlook 2003 or outlook 2007?

Please help me ASAP as I need to make decision in a day or two.

Thanks heaps.
Am
