Using the "#" symbol in Dial Plans

[lugnut83]

Is it possible to allow dialing where the first enty is the "#" symbol (for example #22 as a feature code to access voice mail)?  I added "#22" to the dial plan template, but the outbound INVITE sends "%2322" instead of "#22".  Any help would be appreciated.

SIP uses similar rules to HTML.

1. gets converted to %23.
