thanks! = =A0it does work this way.

i am not sure if it's directly related= but there's a weird issue. =A0once
i have a link to an email, i can open it by c-c c-o only once. =A0any
fo= llowing attempt just fails with a message: "org-mac-link: error could<= br>not find outlook message <msgid>" where msgid is the id of th= e
message. when i ran the mdfind command that i found in the source in theterminal, it again worked once only. =A0any subsequent attempt opens a
= finder window. =A0very very odd behavior since i am not even modifying the<= br> email in anyway (other than just opening it) that might change its
messa= ge id or something.

cheers!
