Joachim -

Was it you who posted a similar question about this issue yesterday?:

I was able to duplicate this behavior - but it is not Interchange that is 
doing the conversion, it is Internet Explorer. As you mentioned in your own 
post, the problem does not occur with Netscape Navigator.  You might want 
to search the Microsoft site for reports and/or sotlutions.  Bill Gates 
deserves a giant raspberry for this - down with Windows XP!
