Actually, I think there is (finally!) a solution.  The following works for
me (thanks to Mark J. Lilback).  I thought I posted it here earlier, but if
not, I'm sorry! :)

I just solved it. Do not use an SSLProtocol line. Comment out the
SetEnvIf line that does nokeepalive for MSIE. Use the following
instead.

BrowserMatch "MSIE [1-4]" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
BrowserMatch "MSIE [5-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown

I'm also using this cipher suite line, but the default might work, too:

SSLCipherSuite 
!EXP1024-RC4-SHA:!EXP1024-DES-CBC-SHA:ALL:!ADH:!EXP56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:
+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

This took way too long to figure out, but at least it works now.

Please post this to any list/newsgroup you find appropriate, as I
don't have usenet access (and I saw a ton of questions about this on
the mac ie newsgroup) and ended up having to piece together numerous
pieces of the solution from numerous other posts.
