I use Outlook as my RSS feed reader and I've noticed that it is sometimes difficult to determine where the quote from a previous post ends and the reply begins. This is especially true when there are multiple quote tags with reply comments dumped throughout. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to make this division a little more obvious in the RSS feeds?

I see the same with NewsFox in Firefox, the [ /quote ] isn't shown in the RSS feed.

Shouldn't you be programming a Code Repository solution?

I wonder if the original and reply could be different colours? I was thinking that different fonts or bold/notbold, italic/notitalic might be and idea, but they are things that can actually be changed by the poster, so that wouldn't be a good idea.

/QUOTE


The quote begins with QUOTE. If it ended with END QUOTE or /QUOTE that would be fine.

I actually like the way this comes out, but as jzoller said, workarounds != native support. smile.gif

I just wanted to ping this as an outstanding suggestion (not outstanding as in awesome, but outstanding as in I'd still like it tongue.gif )
