We have been receiving Page Not Found errors reading certain messages in OWA (Exchange 2000). It appears that when the subject line ends in a series of dots, the message is displayed. The messages are completely readable in Outlook. I believe this has to do with the filename extension being attached to the subject line. Has anyone had this experience? Is this a known issue? Is there a solution, other than asking people's correspondents not to use dots in a subject line?
 
I have seen this. I've found that if there are multiple periods within the message (Look at ... this) or a period on the end (Mailed ltrs.) that the "Page cannot be displayed" error will pop up.

I've also found that the and sign (&) cannot be used within the subject of an email.

To this point I have not been able to find any solution to this problem other than let users know about these problems. Microsoft does not seem to have any mention of it on their site.
