It doesn't work because this is actually a Feedburner feed, which is
giving you Atom instead of RSS. The URL might tell you something
different, but whoever set up this feed obviously chose to use
Feedburner's "SmartFeed (TM)", which again uses a terribly intelligent
mechanism to determine if your reader supports Atom or not. You see how
well this works.
Try using
(setq mm-url-use-external t)
(setq mm-url-program "lynx")
(setq mm-url-arguments '("-source" "-useragent" "Drupal"))
