RSWUWFML - with attachment to launch user's SAP inbox

Hello,
A quick question on the email notification program.
We're using SAP v4.7.
Here's what we want to happen:
Users get notified by email when they have new workitems - the email has an
attachment or URL that when executed launches SAP, after logging on the
user is taken directly to his Business Workplace.
We've copied RSWUWFML and made some additions to it.
We can send an email with a url to the user's MSOutlook address.
The URL looks like this:
<file:///cmd.exe "c:\Program
Files\SAP\FrontEnd\sapgui\SAP\FrontEnd\sapgui\sapshcut.exe" -user=nberkland
-language=en -system=SRD -client=140 -sysname=R/3 DEV -command=SO01>
The <> enclosing the URL means MSOutlook interprets the whole string as a
URL.
If we click the URL from MSOutlook we get the message 'Cannot find
file...followed by the parameter list'
This URL does not work; yet if we paste part of it into a DOS prompt it
does work - i.e.
"c:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\sapgui\SAP\FrontEnd\sapgui\sapshcut.exe"
-user=nberkland -language=en -system=SRD -client=140 -sysname=R/3 DEV
-command=SO01
Our ABAP developer assumed the <file:///cmd.exe command was an http command
to execute a file.
So, the question is how can we launch the same program (the SAPGUI
shortcut) from a URL, including passing the necessary parameters (e.g.
userid) from MSOutlook.
Can anyone provide the missing link? Hmmm
Kind regards,
Nicholas Brand
