When passing parameters using GET method, avoid parameters that start with letters 'PARA'
While it works fine in Internet Explorer 5.x and Netscape Navigator, in IE 4.x and lower, the '¶...' will get converted to ¶ - Ascii char 182.
So when you have something like: page.asp?this=that&x=y¶m_IssueID=1234...
It will come out looking like this: page.asp?this=that&x=y¶m_IssueID=1234...
This is yet another unexplained phenomena, courtesy of IIS. I haven't found anything about it in the Knowledge Base. If you have, drop of a note.
