Well, in general this would be the time to have a look at the RFCs (for
URLs) and i'm to bussy to do that for you. But one short remark: it isn't
apache that is munching your '#ue' - that's the browser. The '#' marks the
fragment, i.e. a location _within_ a resource. This is of no concern to the
webserver. The browser will query the server for the URL without the fragment
and, once it got the resource, will try to locate the fragment.

Check your access log ....
