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=ym_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.

Site visitor, Renzo Bauen of Switzerland, noted that the problem may be due to the fact
that ¶ is an HTML reserved character which stands for ¶. So Microsoft programmers
may have confused ¶ with ¶ (Note the ; on the end). This is
probably the case.
