Except for the length that looks Ok. So I would try using the UA Picker
tool to see if the site would like something other than MSIE 8.0.

And have you tried compatibility mode? That would have replaced the
MSIE 8.0 with MSIE 7.0 and left everything else as is.

BTW I see you're using the web interface for newsgroups.
Is that via IE8? If so, you would have an example of it running
with ActiveX enabled and the site that wants it that way content. ; )


Good luck
