Hyperlink to items in Public folders no konger work in OL2003.

Just upgraded from OL2K to OL2k3 and found out that the hyperlinks to the
subject of items in public folders no longer work when characters like /
has been replaced with %2F or \ with %5C or - with %2d.

Notifications to specific items posted in public folders are generated with
Echange 5.5 Scripting that includes a hyperlink to the item like:

<outlook://Public Folders/All Public Folders/MyFolder/~mymessage Subject>

This works and opens the item if the subject has no special characters like
a : or / or \. In OL2K replacing / in the subject with %2F in the hyperlink
would open the message. In OL2K3 if you replace spaces in the hyperlink
with %20 it still works but replacing other characters like a - or / with
its hexadecimal value no longer works.

Any idea on how to resolve this.

Thanks
Hans
