This problem has been discussed on the list before. It boils down to a bug
in IE 5.5 that means it cannot establish SSLv3 connections. This affects
either the 128 bit or 56 bit version of IE, I don't remember which.

The only way round it we found was to alter the Apache conf file so that it
forced MSIE agents to use SSLv2 and not v3 - I realise this isn't
appropriate in this case.

I have no idea if Microsoft have released a fix/upgrade/patch to correct
the problem.
