Thanks much!! I can't believe I missed seeing those options. Works great. (There is a 
danger to having the source code. You tend to read it instead of looking at the way the 
program works )

BTW,
Is there any way to turn off the Text column at the right side of the list?

Exporting workes as follows: Click on "Find", and switch the radio button to XML or CSV.
If you click on "Search", you will be prompted where to save the resulting "export.xml"
or "export.csv". I did this through the search page because you can then specify som
filters, in order not to export all records.

The XML charset in the first line was missing. I fixed that, new version under CVS. Or
you can manually change the first line to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I needed the export feature and could not find documentation on it in the latest 
version. I finally read the code and added Find Menu Text = <filename>
where filename had the tags XML, CSV1, and CSV2
This always exports all records. Shouldn't it just export the records appearing in 
the window?
Also, there is a CSV Import menu item, why isn't there CSV Export? Or just Export 
with radio buttons controlling the format.
(BTW, the XML export is not valid. Internet Explorer complains about the first line)

Great Software. Love it. Keep up the good work!

stunnel is kind of a deprecated feature. Better use the SSL proxy of Apache,
as written in the elog admin guide. If someone else figures out how to use the
more revent stunnel, I'm willing to update the documentation.

I believe it is on the avant browser side. Below is the same shown in the
SharpReader browser, where everything is displayed correctly.

Hi Stefan,

The parsing now seems OK, IE downloads the XML and the RSS reader of Avant 
Browser 
accepts the feed. 
I still have a problem however : below the header, only the first 3 items 
are displayed and it seems only partially.
I included the HTML result so you can "visualize" what's going on (this may 
also be on the avant browser side !).

Cheers,
Marc

IE 6 chokes on the XML, below is what I get for 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/elog.rdf
(sorry this is in french).
So I assume all rss reader parsing the file with the MS XML parser shall also 
have a problem, this is the case with Avant Browser integrated RSS reader.

Cheer,
Marc
