I believe I was confusing the way Apple Mail operates and Safari.
Question: If an email has a non-standard protocol link like
"usrtlk:" or "aim:" -- is it recognized as a link, and does clicking
on that link launch an application?
Does the mail message have to in HTML format as well?
Does MacOS X 10.2 + Safari and Mail work like this?

If a protocol like usrtlk: is 'like "aim:" then I've got a counterexample
for you. m.
