Is it possible to send an email with a link that launches a full screen browser window? When the recipient clicks a link in the email the full screen would launch in their default browser.

If this is possible, my next question is how can I do this?

These emails will only be going out company wide so we know that following:

Outlook 2000+
Windows 2000 and XP pro
IE 5.5+

There are a few people using OSX so it would be nice if it will work there too but it's not requisite.

Thanks!

Ahhh... Outlook is evil! While doing tech support 99.9% of all virus issues were directly tied to Outlook and Microsoft's decision with OLE to set all the default settings to crap.

Regardless what you're looking to do IF the code is rendered in Outlkook correctly might be done witht he following...

<a href="http://www.example.com" target="newwin"
onclick="window.open(this.href, this.target, 'fullscreen'); return
false">Click me</a>

Good luck!
