I believe there is a known bug with IE 5.5 not passing
form fields IF the user uses the 'enter' key to submit
the form instead of clicking on the submit button.
I would look there. After dealing with browser
problems like this many times over, I have settled on
using a hidden field called 'submitted' and checking
for it instead of some other form field that the user
is supposed to fill out. Seems to be less prone to
browser problems.
