Hyperlinks to the subject of items in public folders

Upgraded from OL2K to OL2K3 and found out that the hyperlinks to the subject of items in public folders no longer work when the / character is has been replaced with %2F.

Notifications to specific items posted in public folders are generated with Exchange 5.5 Scripting that includes a hyperlink to the item like:
outlook://Public&20Folders/All%20Public%20Folders/MyFolder/~mymessagesubject

This works and opens the item if the subject has no special characters, in particular the forward slash. 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 the / with its hexadecimal value %2F no longer works.
