Depends on what version of MetaFrame you are running. Feature Release 2 for XP provides content redirection, which may do what you want. It allows you the ability to open files through an ICA session instead of your local workstation. I have not tested it with Outlook though. In order to get a file to launch in the ICA session (if you also have the program installed locally) would require editing of the file type section of that extention. When you click on a "mailto" field, you're not actually launching a program per se, so I'm not sure how the redirection would know to launch the redirected Outlook.

Check out the documentation on FR2 and Content Redirection. If you could do it at all, I'm sure you would need FR2.

Hope this helps at least a little.

Hi Daphat. In FR2 you can set up content redirection for messages and forms. Go to the published Outlook Application on the Citrix box, and then select properties. In content Redirection you tick on messages and forms and hey presto.

Please note that when setting up Outlook on a Citrix Server, do not choose the 'default' profile, give it your own name, say 'Outlook', and then choose the default options for the profile and everything will work fine.
