[imp] Re: [dev] IMP HEAD & sending messages with attachment and specialchar in IE

[Amith Varghese]

I got someone to try this on IE 6.0.2600 on XP and they have no problems sending
the message.  Then they tried IE 5.00.3502.1000 on win2k and again it worked.  I
then tried running the packet sniffer on the browser where I was having
problems.  But this time I changed "don't" to "dont" and I sent the message. 
What do you know... the HTTP POST was like it should have been.  

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="actionID"....114..
> -----------------------------

I guess I've found a bug in IE 6.0.2600 on Win2k.  Now what are the odds that
this would ever get fixed if I reported it?
