Thanks for the post.  To add to your great work, I have a slight
correction.  %45 is a capital E, so that URL would return a 404 if the
intranet server is case sensitive.  %65 would generate a lowercase e.  You
might want to re-test with the proper case, as BM's filters may or may not
be case sensitive.
