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.

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.

Or perhaps instead of giving me one combined feed, whne i subscribe to

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.
