There is something that Freelists adds when certain characters are in an e-mail. I never too the time to figure them all out. I the URL I posted, Freelists ( where all e-mail sent to this list is sent ), added a bunch of extra characters like 3d and the equal sign. Here I will type a URL using words for all the symbols, then I will put in the URL as it appears in your browser and you can see what I am talking about. WWW dot Microsoft dot com slash technet slash treeview default dot asp question mark URL equal sign slash technet slash prodtechnol slash windowsserver2003 slash proddocs slash entserver slash password underscore howto underscore reset dot asp Here is the URL http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=3D/technet/prod= t echnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/entserver/password_howto_reset.asp When I sent this the two were identical.
