Here is an example from the Craigslist feed: From - Mon, 01 Aug 2005 23:39:02 GMT X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2005 23:39:02 GMT Message-Id: <http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/88343198.html@localhost.localdomain> From: webmaster@craigslist.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: 1+ BR apt w/ gas kitchen, Jacuzzi bathtub, private W/D, extra (noe valley) $1295 1bd Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Base: http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/88343198.html <html> <head> <title>1+ BR apt w/ gas kitchen, Jacuzzi bathtub, private W/D, extra (noe valley) $1295 1bd</title> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0; border: none; padding: 0; } iframe { position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; border: none; } </style> </head> <body> <iframe id ="_mailrssiframe" src="http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/88343198.html"> 1+ BR apt w/ gas kitchen, Jacuzzi bathtub, private W/D, extra (noe valley) $1295 1bd </iframe> </body> </html> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Subscribe to craigslist feed at http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/index.rss 2. Right click on folder and go to 'Search Messages' 3. Search on Body contains garage Actual Results: Only messages with matching subjects ( not bodies ) come up Expected Results: Messages with matching bodies ( as opposed to subjects ) should come up.
Ok, I just figured out that the 'body' just contains a URL, not the actual page. And this is probably a core part of RSS. Is there a way that this difference from e-mail can be made obvious to the user so that others don't get confused like I did? Perhaps 'Body' should say 'Body ( See Help )' or something like that?
