window.external.AddFavorite - ???

I have an application that automatically sends an e-mail to an address and wirtes the following line into its body content:

<center><b><font face=Arial><a href=javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('ftp://" & strRegResult & "/', 'Datenaustausch');>Click here to update your Favorites</a></font></b></center>

strRegResult could be any IP address or domain name.

The problem:

If someone gets this mail and clicks on the hyperlink, a window opens and sends out an error message.

I gues this doesn't work in Outlook or Outlook Express.

Any ideas how to solve this? thx

I'm sorry, but you will find that this will not work on Outlook or Outlook Express (current versions, or versions with current service packs). There was a time when this would have worked, but in response to script attacks that took advantage of Outlooks HTML and scripting features, you will find that scripts that access certain objects or methods will no longer work. Though I personally think that this is a shame, it seems to be the easiest way to protect people from themselves.
