Hello,
I am linking to an email from another, and right now the link looks like:

<Outlook:ID#Here>

And what I want to do is try to recreate the clickable item in the Inbox,
that displays the subject, sender, date etc. Is it possible to do this? If
not what else can I do to make this link something readable and not an
unidentifiable sequence of alpha numerics?
Thanks,

Parse the link to extract the ID, then use it as the argument for the Namespace.GetItemFromID method to return the original item.

What you can do with the appearance of the link itself depends on the message format.
