Linking to an MailItem

Hello,
I am trying to add into a body a hyperlink to another email message, but
have so far been very unsuccessful. I've read that since Outlook 2000, only
contacts can be linked to, but does anyone know of a way to get around this
and open up an email when the hyperlink is clicked?
Thanks,
travis

Thanks a bunch, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for. But I still have
one question, I've been messing around with the link format but wasn't able
to figure out how to use different text with the link.
Instead of having "<Outlook:Inbox>", is there a way for me to have "Inbox"
performing the same functions?
Thanks,
travis

Sorry, but I don't understand the question.

Sorry about that, it's not phrased well.
When I create the link inside the body of a message, it looks like :

<Outlook:Inbox>

And the user clicks on that and it takes them there, but I was wondering if
it's possible to have :

Inbox

Do the same thing. Just to have the <Outlook:Inbox> link with the text
"Inbox" instead.
Thanks,
travis

Yes, if the message is in HTML format, you can create an <a> tag as you normally would for any hyperlink. Otherwise, no.
