If it is what we're seeing, it only happens sometimes, and for some people,
etc.  Seems to be due to compression.  I've solved any problems I've seen
by turning off page compression for IE 6.  My not so polite way of doing
this was to change conf.php (horde.php for older versions) to check the
browser ala:

require_once HORDE_BASE . '/lib/Browser.php';
$browser = &new Browser();
if ($browser->getBrowser() == 'msie' && $browser->getMajor() >= 6) {
   $conf['compress_pages'] = false;
} else {
   $conf['compress_pages'] = true;
}

Not sure how efficient the code is, but it solved all the problem reports
I was getting.
