We have recently discovered a (P3P?) default in IE 6 that affects accepting cookies across domains. For example, we had a frameset in foo.com that had one frame in foomail.com that was setting a cookie in its own domain, but was refused by IE6's default presumably because the frameset was in a different domain. We were able to change this behavior by editing the preferences mentioned below which were found at Tools>Internet Options>Privacy(New tab in IE6)>Edit and then adding foomail.com in the list of accepted cookies domains (which was empty).
