SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, you can set the FilterWebBeaconsAndHtmlForms parameter of the Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access virtual directory to allow Web beacons and HTML forms. In this situation, you can set the FilterWebBeaconsAndHtmlForms parameter to DisableFilter or to UserFilterChoice. However, Web beacons and HTML forms in e-mail attachments are blocked regardless of the parameter setting. This behavior may interfere with third-party solutions that rely on Web beacons and on HTML forms in e-mail message attachments.
