>>Is there anything you can do to Outlook that way, or will it just open?

Here's the documentation on the outlook: scheme:

EC011081751033&Product=out2003

Here's a link to it that won't be broken up by your mail client:

I've tried this in a bunch of ways and what it does is to open up Outlook to the
appropriate location. If you load it from an IFRAME the frame is empty with a 
syntax
error. I'm also really curious how this could be exploited.
