Well, in my continuing saga of upgrading from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 I have 
found yet another interesting snag.

Exchange 2000
Windows 2000 Server
IIS 5
Outlook Web Access

URLSCAN and IIS Lockdown tool applied to the OWA server  (using the OWA template!)

If a user has a message with the ampersand ( & ) in the subject line and tries to read 
that message using outlook web access, the user gets the nasty "FILE NOT FOUND" error 
in their browser.  Why?

Because URLSCAN will reject the %26 character (which is the hex number for that 
symbol)!

Yuck.

I'm sure there is a way to configure URLSCAN to let this one by, just haven't gone to 
figure it out yet.  I'l let you know when/if I do.

Just thought y'all might want to know this.
