Hindsight is 2020, isn't it Mr. Wang?

Not true. The original file is there, it can be found by
OWA, and it can be read/previewed through the browser.
Older email's without colons in the subject line can also
be read (e.g., messages delivered before and after my
change). When IIS/OWA interprets $_REQUEST['cmd']
== 'reply', it forwards the instruction to Exchange...
IIS/OWA/Exchange is not "trying to find some file that
doesn't exist in the filesystem" --rather, Exchange
prepares this message to be sent back to the IIS/OWA
component, but before doing so it prepends the subject
line with an "Re:" <-- note the use of the colon. It's
this behavior which causes IIS to throw the 404.... not a
broken filepath.

Thanks, I've already tried that.

Lesson learned. I really like how it's all or nothing with
MS. Either you've got your a$$ hanging out in the wind and
the only way to cover it is through the use of third party
solutions, or your wearing armor & chainmail from the 17th
century.
