Nope. Everything else is otherwise the same. I can view all the feeds in
IE, there's no difference in them having HTML content or not, it doesn't do
it if they have a .rss attachment or not. I guess I could look at the MIME
type, but it should be consistent across servers...
....
Well now that's interesting. So I checked the MIME types displayed by IE,
and the two I listed that worked are returned as "XML Document", the two
that don't are some pictureit document, and "file".
So much for that. Other failures are
http://www.fatwallet.com/rssfeed.php?c=18&deals=50 ("XML document"),
http://slashdot.org/index.rss ("XML document"), etc. Do you know of an easy
tool to find out HTTP headers, like the MS equivalent of wget? I can't find
mine.

After furious head scratching, Jordan Mills asked:
| I believe I completely misunderstood your question on first reading.
| Actually yes, there are some feeds from a given server that work, and
| some that don't. I can't find any pattern right now. For example,
| NPR food at
http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1053 works fine, NPR
| Health and science at
http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1007
| consistently fails. Chron news at
|
http://www.chron.com/rss/chronicle/index.rss works, chron news
| bizarre at
http://www.chron.com/rss/bizarre/index.rss consistently
| fails.
|
| I just realized that both of the failures are the second subscription
| to that server in the list. I tried removing npr health and science
| to see if it was related to that, but it still failed (I have plenty
| of failures that are the only sub of that server).
|
| When I was hitting send/receive, a couple of the formerly broken feeds
| worked. Once. Now they fail again, with the same pattern.
|

| | LOL on the head scratching... are the feeds that fail from the same
| server or source? If yes, do you get other feeds from that same
| source without the failure messages?

||
||| I have a bunch of feeds that I want to work. They work fine when I
||| first import them, but they soon die, giving two errors for each
||| feed. I've already tried removing the feeds (which is a pain in the
||| hindquarters for 100 feeds), closing outlook, verifying the process
||| not running, deleting the .obi files, starting outlook, and
||| importing the opml file again. It works fine for a while, then
||| soon dies. Oddly, it seems that the same feeds later die. These
||| are the errors I get (for each URL in my feed list that experiences
||| the proble):
|||
||| Task 'RSS Feeds' reported error (0x9AC40155) : 'Outlook cannot
||| download the RSS content from <URL> because of a problem connecting
||| to the server. An OLE registration error occurred. The program is
||| not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program.'
||| Task 'RSS Feeds' reported error (0x9AC40155) : 'Synchronization to
||| RSS Feed:"<URL>" has failed. Outlook cannot download the RSS content
||| from <URL> because of a problem connecting to the server.'
|||
||| Any ideas?
