Webmaster Tools Robot should use reasonable User Agent instead of "MSIE6.0" RRS feed

    The webmaster tools robot is using the user agent string "MSIE6.0".  That isn't good practise.

    Use something like "Webmaster Tools 1/0" or the like.

    Have a look at Google Sitemaps or Yahoo! Site Explorer.

    Great, now it's "msnbot-webmaster/1.0 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" used.
