Outlook 2007/2010: What is the character limit for a link to open?

As I just shared the Character limitation of URL in Sharepoint .

Outlook Hyperlink also has its own limitation

One of my user was copying a shortcut as a hyperlink in Outlook and it opened the site with a empty Document Library .

I Compared the shortcut url with the one sent as hyperlink in the outlook and found that the one sent to the users is not a complete url/link . so thought their might be some limitation to that too .   

Based on my research, this is what i found

Outlook 2013 – Seems no limitation.
Outlook 2010 – 1033 characters
Outlook 2007 – 1033 characters
Outlook 2003 – 256 characters

Readers - if you find any descripancies in the numbers (limitations ) please comment so that we can keep this post updated .
