Hyperlinking Between Ms Excel 2004 & Apple Mail

This may be a question with a really simple answer but it is driving me nuts!
I'm trying to create a hyperlink from a cell in an Excel spreadsheet to a received email message.
I know where the message is located in my user library and have inserted the hyperlink address to it's location, which is this:
///Library/Mail/Mailboxes/[mailbox name].mbox/Messages/893.emlx
However when I click on the hyperlink, expecting to open Apple Mail and view the email, I get the Excel message:"An unexpected error has occured" and nothing further.

I can create links to Word documents and other Excel workbooks, is this a compatability issue between MS and Apple Mail?
