I'll try that, but (typically!) I found some things that worked shortly after
posting...
These both work:
PROTOCOL = "outlook:"
TEST_URL = "00000000BB1BBDFACA3A... 84000026F87CCA0000" # elided for example
import os
os.startfile(PROTOCOL + TEST_URL, 'open') # second parameter not needed
# and
import win32api
win32api.ShellExecute(0, 'open', PROTOCOL + TEST_URL, "", "", 0)
I thought I had already tried the first one, not sure what happened.
Sorry for the noise...
Cheers
