In fact I was reading your plugin. In function Outlook_EditFile
there's a check:

if g:outlook_servername == '' || g:outlook_servername == v:servername

If the servername is not set, I think this makes Vim open up another
buffer/tab on the last used/existing Vim window instead of opening its
own one. That's something I'm trying to avoid because I typically use
individual Vim windows for grouping related work - code browsing, or
Wiki editing. I don't want a completely unrelated tab/buffer popping
up in the middle.
