Hyperlink directly to an e-mail?

Is it possible to insert a hyperlink in OneNote 2007 directly to an e-mail in
Outlook XP?

I know about the Send To OneNote function but was wondering about the other
capabilities.

Yes, you can do that, but there is no standard click and go procedure for
OneNote.

The only thing you need is the unique identifier of a specific mail item in
Outlook.
You can get this very easily if you are familiar with the Outlook object
model. If not, use TeamScope's Linker for Windows:
http://www.teamscope.com/globals/download.asp.
It copies the link address to the selected mail item to the clipboard.

But to get Outlook links work, make sure that Outlook links are enabled in
Windows. If you don't do so, Windows will not know how to handle them.
To enable this feature - if necessary -, open notepad and paste the
following lines (except for the dots):

....................

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Outlook]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:Outlook Folders"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlook\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\OUTLOOK.EXE\",10"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlook\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlook\shell\open]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\outlook\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\OUTLOOK.EXE\" /select
\"%1\""

......................

Check if "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office" matches your Outlook
installation folder and correct the path name if necessary.
Save this file as Outlook.reg, close notepad, and apply the reg file.

Ricco.
