Yes correct, the pipe is secure(encrypted) but not the message itself.<br />
<br />
For the link, that is usually some type of 3rd party encryption that email appliance provide. Usually used to send encrypted email to yahoo or gmail accounts, but will work for any external email addresses really. The link allows an authentication of sorts that can be used to decrypt the message. I've seen it offered on Proofpoint email gateways, but I'm sure others offer something similar.

Secure Email

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
