---- RSS is not opening properly

Hi,

Strange problem. Our RSS feed which is here <snip>
doesn't open for me as all other RSS feeds do - instead, the browser asks me how I want to download the file. It was initially called rss.xml, I found that by changing it to .rss it might work better, but it doesn't. the mime type is set correctly, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

When I add the link as a feed in e.g. google reader, it works fine. but my browser does not ask me what I want to do with the feed, as it does with other RSS feeds. instead, it tries to download the xml file. If anyone can help point out what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

thanks!
Jeffrey
