@Christoffer, thanks for the tip. It will only work if you have the authority to install an ISAPI filter under IIS, which is not always the case (i.e. if your ISP manages the server).

Hi all. I use IIS Mod-Rewrite Pro( http://www.micronovae.com/ModRewrite/ModRewrite.html ) with Wordpress. It accepts .htaccess and clean permalinks work like a charm on IIS.

Wordpress 2.3 natively supports IIS Mod-Rewrite now, but if you still can’t get the permalinks work correctly, add the following line of code at the beginning of wp-settings.php

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_ORIGINAL_URL'];

Thanks, Basil! You’re right! I’ve tested this and confirmed that these two plugins (here’s the mailer – http://www.coffee2code.com/archives/2004/06/28/plugin-wpphpmailer/ ) work in conjunction. Only drawback I see is that the regular email notification to blog author has a blank FROM, but the subscribe to comments plugin works as expected.

Thanks again!
