*sigh* IE is so stupid.

I'm very much in favor of tightening security controls in Internet Explorer
for those people that insist on using it. (And there ARE some people who do.
I know some of them.) But why, oh why, $DEITY please tell me why IE insists
on giving me a message that it's blocked active content when I'm reading an
XML file? XML files consist of text. Plain text. That's it.

You are probably trying to read it with an ActiveX control, and ActiveX
controls are active content.

I don't know. Why does IE insist on giving you a message that it's
blocked active content when you're reading an XML file?
