Lloyd pointed out that some readers (including Firefox) don't respect
the MIME types and require certain DOS-style file extensions to
'recognize' RSS feeds (ick).
So, updated configuration, with a more Firefox-friendly (and now
somewhat redundant) URL:
@LISTS = (
{
rss_version => '0.91',
archive =>
'http://dlslug.org/pipermail/dlslug-announce/%Y-%B/',
archive_style => 'date',
description => 'DLSLUG-Announce',
num_visible => 10,
scrape_text => 1,
rss_output =>
'/usr/local/apache/htdocs/dlslug.org/xml/rss/dlslug-announce/rss.xml'
}
);
Then I noticed that every Item title was prepended with
[DLSLUG-Announce] (because that's in the subject of each mail) which
was further redundant, so a patch to the script was in order (sent back
to the author):
-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<----

$rss->add_item(

And he saw that it was good.
