CUSTOMER NOTES
==============
Non-English characters in URLs and queries
------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 uses a new standard to transmit non-English
addresses (URLs) to the server. URLs are now encoded in a character-
encoding standard named UTF-8. If the server is running Windows 2000,
the URLs will work as expected. Many servers cannot process URLs
encoded in UTF-8.
e
3. Under Browsing, deselect the Always Send URLs As UTF-8 check box.
Security settings
-----------------
The settings for the security levels of the Web content zones
have changed for Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 and might no longer be
consistent with those in earlier versions of Internet Explorer. If
you upgrade from a previous version of Internet Explorer, Setup will
save your previous security settings and transfer them to
Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 as a Custom Security Level.

You should consider the privacy practices of the sites you visit

result, Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 now checks to see if ActiveX is
enabled before installing a COM server.

the intranet.

MICROSOFT OUTLOOK EXPRESS

=========================
Outlook Express also includes the Address Book 6, which provides rich
contact management capabilities, including the ability to create
groups of contacts and folders to help you organize your e-mail and
personal addresses. The Address Book also provides access to Internet
directories that use LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).
Internet directories are an easy way to find e-mail or street
addresses. A number of popular Internet directories are pre-
configured for easy access.

missing information; this is not the case. To view the contents of
the FRAMEs, the user may select to view messages as plain text (see
"OUTLOOK EXPRESS NEW FEATURES IN THIS RELEASE" section above), which
will move the FRAMES to an attachment that can be opened and viewed.
