unreadable RSS feeds

[Steve Luttrell]

This is probably an IE7 question rather than a Vista question, but there
doesn't seem to be an IE7 newsgroup so I will post the question here.

I am having trouble reading some RSS feeds in IE7. Most of them port across
OK (from Google Reader where I have read the feeds up till now) by just
manually pasting each one into the address field in IE, and then IE knows
exactly what to do with them. But some of the feeds decide to just display
as raw XML in IE. Here are some examples:

These don't work:
http://asymptotia.com/feed/
http://www.billybragg.co.uk/wordpress/feed/
http://scienceblogs.com/catdynamics/index.xml
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?feed=rss2

whereas these do work:
http://www.badscience.net/?feed=rss2
http://superconducting.blogspot.com/atom.xml
http://export.arxiv.org/rss/cs.AI

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Most posts are requesting help with IE7, although all IE versions are
supported there.
