PMMail doesn't support MAPI. I've asked for it, but it doesn't seem to
be happening. You can tweak your registry so that MAPI requests go to
Microsoft Outlook, but still use PMMail for your mail client. You can
still leave PMMail associated with mailto requests, so when you click
on a mailto link, it uses PMMail. The downside is that you need to set
up Microsoft Outlook, and it doesn't really like when it isn't used to
retrieve mail. I have an extra email address that I have set up in
Outlook, so that works pretty well, but not everyone be able to do
that.

The registry setting you need to set is "HKLM\Clients\Mail". Set the
default value from "PMMail" to "Microsoft Outlook" (at least these are
the names on my system). If you aren't comfortable changing registry
settings, don't try this.
