There's a long thread on the dev group [1] about the use of .attr().
I would suggest that you simply not try to use it to set event
listeners. Instead, use .bind('click', fn) or the shortcut .click
(fn).
So instead of this:
$("body").append($('<a>').attr({onClick:"alert('dynamic
test');return false"}).text("Dynamic")) ;
try something like this:
$("body").append($('<a>').click(function(){alert('dynamic
test');return false;}).text("Dynamic"));
See this for an example:

I don't know if this will fix your Outlook issue, but I think it sets
you off in a better direction.
Good luck,
