<tip type="Misc. User Agents">

Wondering what that MSIECrawler user agent is? Its user agent string looks a
little like this:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0; MSIECrawler)

According to
http://www.siteware.ch/webresources/useragents/miscellaneous/msiecrawler.htm
l, it is the agent used by IE to update subscribed content.
