Hyperlinks not opening in groupwise with special characters

[jgferg]

I really would appreciate any help any one could give me. Here is my problem. I have windows 2000 sp 2. I use groupwise 5.5.4, any hyperlink in a email that has a ? or - or = etc the hyperlink will only open to the special character not the whole hyperlink so instead of clicking on the hyperlink you need to select the whole hyperlink using your mouse and then right click and then go to the hyperlink. For example this following hyperlink that was sent to me in groupwise

http://www.silicon.com/bin/bladerunner?30REQEVENT=&REQAUTH=21046&14001REQSUB=REQINT1=50786

when I just click on it IE only open up to the ?. So in fact I don't get the whole hyperlink. I have looked and cannot fix this problem. It works fine on Windows NT sp6. I have been out to Microsoft, Novell I have tried registering dll's making registry hacks and still have the problem. Has anyone ran into this? Is it maybe the windows messaging? I have Internet Explorer 5.5 set as my default browser. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

We just highlight the link completely then click it.
I think it is a bug and there supposedly is a patch for it. I remember being a part of this question a few rounds ago.

Yeah, that was my solution also but some people did not like that response and they want a fix. Is there a direction maybe you could point me in as far as the bug and maybe the fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I just wanted everyone to know that I finally have confirmed this to be a known problem from Novell. There are no known fixes for this except upgrading to groupwise 6. Thanks for the help
