Hi,
   Its a bit hard to understand what you mean here, but, are you saying 
if you create a folder, then "enable syndication" on it to give a RSS 
feed, then if you have an index_html file in the folder, RSS stops 
working? That sounds like a bug if true. So if clearly reproducible, 
perhaps it should be filed as a bug.

Regards,
Nick

PS This question is better asked on the plone-users list. plone-setup is 
more for initial installs , migrations, setting up plone etc

PPS Since you've just posted your url, and you have join enabled, 
unfortunately due to a bug in Plone you could get attacked by spammers 
who take advantage of a security hole in "join". The solution to this is 
either migrate to 2.1.4 now, or , at least until then, switch off the 
join feature.
