Hi.

I searched for a solution, and couldn't find one.

Is there a way for an add-in to capture specific links in a message?

Let's say I'm writing a chess game, and I want all clicks to
www.chess.com/play to be stopped, so I can open my game instead.

Is this possible?

Probably not, certainly not with any Outlook code. If anything you'd have to
come up with some Win32 API hack that took callbacks on all messages to
newly opened windows and look for a newly opened window that was from a
browser and then hope it was due to clicking a link in an email and not from
some other method of opening a browser.

I see...
That's a little discouraging.
Anyway, thanks for the quick answer.
