Ok -- just realized I had left in the selection of a custom org-capture-template which will likely not be in anyone else's config, so I made the org-capture-template configurable, and set to nil by default.

Modified script below..

...cj

-- OutlookToEmacsOrg
--
-- This script uses org-protocol to capture the currently selected message in outlook -- as an Org item. The item creates a link of type 'mac-outlook' with the message ID
-- within Outlook that can later be used by mdfind to find that message.
--
-- If more than one message is selected, only the first message is used. If no message
-- is selected, the script does nothing.
--
-- The Title passed to org-protocol is formatted as "[Sender] Subject", but could
-- easily be modifed as below to any text.
--
-- See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html for details about
-- how org-protocol works.
--
-- This script assumes emacsclient is available via the Carbon Emacs application, but
-- can be changed via the emacsclientBinary below.
--
-- Script Installation for Outlook
--   1. Startup AppleScript Editor
--   2. Paste this script into a new file
-- 3. Save as "OutlookToEmacsOrg" of file type "Script Bundle" in the directory: -- /Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items -- 4. Restart Outlook, and this should show up in the Script menu (the squiggly next to Help)
--
-- You probably also assign a shortcut via System Preferences.
--
-- Emacs mac-outlook link support, put the following in your .emacs:
--
-- (org-add-link-type "mac-outlook" 'org-mac-outlook-open)
--
-- (defun org-mac-outlook-open (msgid)
--   "Open a message in outlook"
-- (shell-command (format "open \"`mdfind com_microsoft_outlook_recordID==%s`\"" msgid)))
--
-- Tested on Mac OS X 10.7.3, Emacs 23.4.2, Org 7.8.03, Outlook for Mac 2011
--
-- Special thanks to Lutz Meyer / LuMe96(at)gmail.com -- I got the critical
-- pieces of applescript from OutlookToThings.scpt written by Lutz.

property emacsclientBinary : "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient"

-- Set to the empty string to use the default capture template, or fill
-- in the letter code from org-capture-templates
