RSS feed not showing in MSIE 6

I have a VALID RSS feed. In Opera and Firefox and misc. aggregators it works like a charm, but in MSIE 6 it shows a blank page instead of any error or source code. Other RSS feeds in MSIE 6 show up as source code (which is what I wanted, to see that it worked). Why is this not the case with my own site?

This is very frustrating.

I have a VALID RSS feed.

You are supplying the feed, or you have a feed being included in some of your pages?

Is the feed being called explicitly, that is, example.com/myfeed.rss, or is it being included in a page?

If you are calling it directly, maybe IE 6 doesn't recognize the content-type, or it's generating an XML header IE doesn't recognize. How about IE 7?

What outputs the feed, PHP, perl, what? Maybe the program outputting the feed is doing something based on the client version and dying without proper error handling?

Other RSS feeds in MSIE 6 show up as source code

Do you have access to whatever's generating these other feeds?
