Web servers don't decide what referrers are, User Agents do. If someone is
reading an RSS feed in Mozilla or IE7, I'd be pretty surprised if the
referrer wasn't set. On the other hand, if they're using an e-mail client to
read the feed, I might be a bit surprised if referrers were set.

If you've got some RSS feeds on your site, why don't you do some tests with
different RSS clients, and tell us what shows up in your logs?
