thanks!  it does work this way.

i am not sure if it's directly related but there's a weird issue.  once
i have a link to an email, i can open it by c-c c-o only once.  any
following attempt just fails with a message: "org-mac-link: error could
not find outlook message <msgid>" where msgid is the id of the
message. when i ran the mdfind command that i found in the source in the
terminal, it again worked once only.  any subsequent attempt opens a
finder window.  very very odd behavior since i am not even modifying the
email in anyway (other than just opening it) that might change its
message id or something.

cheers!
