Thanks, but this doesn't fix it for me.

In my original post I didn't make it completely clear that you have to set
mm-url-use-external to nil.  So steps to reproduce are really:

emacs -q
M-x load-library RET mm-url RET
(setq mm-url-use-external nil)
(mm-url-insert "http://slashdot.org/index.rss";)

If you see HTML saying "Moved permanently" then the problem is still
there.  That's what happens to me even with your patch.
