In the way you put it, you make it sound like a limitation when it
actually isn't and this kind of answer is the only one
I would never give to my boss
or clients, with such decisiveness :o)

I guess the issue is that you follow the "wrong" link and go directly

I am sorry, i should have copied a link.

This happens tens of times to me while googling and usually I quickly
go back and press to other links, since at that moment i am looking
to find what i am interested in and what i see doesn't seem relevant :)
and google may have come up with some millions of links.

SInce i am not interested and never use RSS feeds, i was not aware
of how it works or even what exactly that was and since i am primarily (99%)
using Opera
except when developing, i don't even remember seeing IE's or FF's behaviour
with this.
After your reply, I went to a website (need to have subscription) that has
RSS
Feed and pressed "Yes", when i got the "nuisance" to investigate further.

If Opera's email is enabled it starts and you can view RSS feeds,
can't remember what happens if it is not.

Because of my ignorance i was replying the below, which would have
been misleading the truth is, but would also seems "suitable" to your reply.

"I have never seen this happening with any other browser. Does this mean
that i.e. IE understands that you pressed the "wrong" link "by mistake
or on purpose" and redirects you to the link that you actually wanted to
press?"

Anwyay, in fact IE6 shows XML, while i think Firefox displays the nicest and
most
appropriate output... So without me knowing the internals, it seems
like that
there is some space for optimization here.

This is a link describing what RSS Feeds are and how it is supposed to work.
