Why do some external http links to a specific Mingle page work and some not?

I'm trying to link from an external document to a Mingle page. E.g.

 
http://mingle/projects/replacement/cards/list?columns=Type%2CRequirements+-+Epic%2CRequirements+-+Higher+Level+User+Story%2CRequirements+-+Sub+Epic%2CRequirements+-+User+Story&order=desc&page=1&sort=Type&style=list&tab=All&tree_name=Requirements

When I link from an email in Outlook the link takes me to the login page, I login in and then it takes me to the right page. However when I link from Word or Excel after the login it takes me to the Overview page rather than the specific page. If I am already logged into Mingle it still takes me to the login page.

Can anyone explain this behaviour?

Thanks.

    Andy,


    I'm not certain what Word and Excel are doing. I have duplicated this as well with Excel on my Mac. It's particularly interesting because even if I explicitly add the user login and password to the URL, as in http://<login>:<password>@mingle...., it still goes to the login screen. (This is obviously something you would want to be careful about doing in real life.)


    This post might have something in the spreadsheet to help.


    Thanks,
    Jay
