Why would you want to curse GNUstep users with a virus diffusion tool
such as MS Outlook?
If you want an email application, there's already GNUmail.app.
You could add missing email features to GNUmail.app (you have the
source!), or implement other features implementing other applications.
With DO and the services, the applications can be well integrated
(meaning, one application can use the services and objects of another
application).

Since GNUstep tries to implement the same API than MacOSX (OpenStep),
you can read the documentation of MacOSX:
About Distributed Object (DO), see:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/ProgrammingTopics/DistrObjects/index.html
If you have access to an OPENSTEP 4.2 system, you can as well read its
documentation and use its development environment to get a feel of
what we're after with GNUstep.
Of course, you should check http://www.gnustep.org/ where
documentation of GNUstep will be published as soon as it'll be
available.

The documents on the MacOSX site (Cocoa URL above) are complete. In
particular, "Aqua Human Interface Guidelines" may be useful, even if
they've added some MacOS quirks to the user interface.
