only thing i see missing from the RSS is perhaps a group subject<br>
prefix on the messages. I subscirbed to all my groups, and now i can't<br>
easily tell which group a message is from. Could message subjects be<br>
prefixed with group name? or a short group name? like [New York] for
the

NY dug?</blockquote>

No. This is not how RSS works -- we shouldn't be trying to duplicate
email. And it actually breaks all sorts of other RSS tools -- the title
should be the title of the source article, not pre-pended with extra
information.
<br>
<br>
We *might* want to inject a <category> or other element that
includes the group name, but again, I doubt most peoples' feed reader
does anything with that.<br>

they might not - however this is jut the sort of semantic that RSS is
designed to support - so placing it there would be a good idea IMHO.<br>

perhaps instead of giving me one combined feed, whne i subscribe to<br>
my groups feed, i could be given an opml of all the individual rss
feeds?</blockquote>
<div><br>
You do, of course, have the choice to subscribe to the feeds
individually. The OPML aspect is interesting...maybe linked from the
"my groups" block.
