Hi Clair, I believe that I fixed this bug last week, it was due to angled brackets not being displayed in some phones properly. Did you receive the foreign characters today? I had changed the angled brackets to single quotes, so you should have received a message such as: Hmm, I sent that email

RE: [backstage] Geotagging BBC news stories

I've finally got round to starting to build my RSS aggregrator, which could develop into something like the mixer you describe. At present my main focus has been on using Bayesian filtering to build a profile of stories from several feeds so that I end up with a personalised news feed; but the opt
