Re: [syndication] Re: RSS and mailing lists

It appears that the MIME type is defaulting to text/html, and this is
confusing the browser.  Using "wget" or some other tool to retrieve it
works fine.  To demonstrate that it works as RSS, I added it to a set of
news feeds I follow:

Two interesting things about the yahoogroups feed:

1) It lists messages oldest-first.  I wonder if there's an option to
control this...

2) The image still says "eGroups" :)
