I just figured out that the same option exists in Outlook as well, except that its under File/Options/Mail/Editor Options/Advanced. Took me a bit of time to find it after reading your post, so thought I might write it down here in case anyone else has trouble finding it =)

And - if you want to easily select whole words again just use Doubleclick + Drag on a Word and you will get word-selection :-) (This also works in most Browsers and other software)
