Yep - if you really read your method, you're asking watir to attach an IE instance itself to an MS Outlook window with the url of....there won't be a url because it's an MS Outlook window.
The simplest solution I can think of without delving into AutoIT would be to set your default mail client to gmail (using Gmail Notifier or similar), or any other web-based mail client that supports being set as the default. Then you could continue to use Ruby/Watir for your assertions.

You could probably write something to do this using auto-it. But an easier way is to probably test it once manually, and then save the link details. and instead of clicking the link, just make sure it hasnt changed from when you manually tested it Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "marty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <wtr-general@rubyforge.org> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: [Wtr-general] How do I attach to a "mailto" window > In the HTML code I have a link with a href of mailto.
