In the Stationery Picker dialog box, they have the option to select more stationery by clicking Get More Stationary.

Outlook 98:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Outlook
Value name: "GetMoreStationeryURL"
Value data (SZ): "http://www.microsoft.com/re.."

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook
Value name: "GetMoreStationeryURL"
