Whew! I hadn't seen a post here in long enough I was beginning to wonder if either gmane or pan had broken on this list/group! =:^( Relief! =:^) Yes, gwene is an interesting case. When I had to dump akregator as all of kdepim including akregator was akonadifying, since I was already using pan for gmane, my immediate first thought was pan for gwene. That didn't work so well for exactly the reason you state, it's RSS/Atom bridging, so everything was XML, and pan doesn't do so well with XML! The next idea, since I had already switched to claws-mail from kmail, was claws-mail for feeds as well. So that's what I did. I could then choose either the direct feed using the claws-mail feed plugin (which I did), or gwene using the news side. Either way, claws' "filtered html" mode, where it simply filters out all the tags except anchor-links, which are converted to plain text URLs, works remarkably well. The filtered-html works well for mail as well, tho I still have an HTML filter below a few whitelistings, as HTML is still a pretty good spam marker once the whitelistings are taken care of. I think pan would be really nice with something similar. Combine that with the idea of inserting some sort of visible marker between text- parts, thus eliminating /that/ long-standing issue, and it should work quite well. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
