Gecko/20050405 with OWA running on an Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003 (both SP1)
Can send, forward, reply without problems with my OWA. 

Reporter: Is this a Problem with a current build release ? (like FF 1.02)

I reported this problem for a older version. I think it was 1.0
 
I tried again with 1.02.
 
Behavior now is similar. Klicking on reply or forward in OWA (Outlook Web 
Access) closes the opened Mail window instead of changing to the expected 
window.
 
If you need further information concerning the settings and about OWA do not 
hesitate to ask me again, i will try to answer ASAP.

Add "siemens.at" to your list of "allowed sites" for popup windows, then try
again - I had the same problem with OWA (on Exchange 5.5, as yours is), and it
turned out that the reply/forward functions are blocked by the popup blocker.

I get this problem for URLs generated by a similar web mail interface to OWA
called WorldClient.

http://mail.expertit.uk:3000/WorldClient.dll?Session=BBHQFTS&View=Options-Prefs&ReturnJavaScriptConfirm=yes&Save=Yes&User:PreviewPaneWidth=408&UTF8=Yes

This URL is blocked by the popup blocker even though the domain mail.expertit.uk
is whitelisted.

I think's something to do with patterns in the URL as mentioned in 267003
