    Since a couple of days the content encoding in the rss feeds has changed from including the html tags like <br> to &lt;br&gt; making the feeds really difficult to read in most feed readers can we have the old encoding back? or strip the html tags completly from it would be ok too but this is just nasty I'm skipping messages now with code samples cause they are prettymuch impossible to decypher.

    I'm also seeing those HTML tags in FeedDemon 2.7, <br> instead of real linebreaks and so on.  RSS feeds are supposed to handle HTML formatting, though.  Did someone accidentally escape the angle brackets for the RSS feed?

    This issue has been assigned to a PM, and I assume it's being looked at by that team.

    Thanks

    I'm also having this problem, and I'm glad it's been assigned. But it's been a while now...can anyone report status? When can we expect this to be fixed?
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I've just posted a question about the same issue that has some screenshoots if you need to see how feeds are showed under Outlook 2007.
