MAPI compatible mailer

[johnf]

Below are several questions/replies posted on another NG, I was advised I
would probably be better posting the final question here.
Can anyone please advise if my final query is feasible?

Q.

A.

I see what you mean, it's sounds weird, opening OE via Outlook, but it
works. Thanks.

Ok, a stupid question. Is it possible to create a shortcut to the View/go
to/News link (as I normally only access the mail component of Outlook via
Mailwasher)?
