I actually tried this for awhile and nothing was happening. Then I realized I’m using Safari on a Mac. Oh well, I’ll take your word for it.

I just tried it on IE 5 on Mac OS 9 and the url shows up as “http://www.microsoft.com%01@zapthedingbat.com/security/ex01/vun2.htm”

Oh the grief I miss out on!
