Ted seems to have meant to copy the list, but since he didn't, I am taking

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out. The documentation available  
inside emacs was for an old installation of org-mode and it doesn't  
appear to have that section. I was able to find that section on the  
site though.

In case anyone else wants it, I just added the following code to  
my  .emacs file and it works like a charm now. Keep in mind, this will  
probably only work on a mac (I'm using the "open" command).

(require 'org)
(org-add-link-type "message" 'org-message-open)

(defun org-message-open (path)
   "Open message:// links in the registered mail reader on a mac."
   (shell-command (concat "open message:" path)))
