View full articles of RSS feeds in Outlook 2007?

[Kolin Tregaskes]

Hello,

I currently use NewzCrawler for my RSS feeds, the reason is that it is the
only newsreader I've found that displays the full article within the program
(and not a link to the article to open it up in IE or just the summary or
text of the RSS feed). I see that Outlook 2007 allows for RSS feeds and
gives you the open to download the full article for individual items or to
open up the article in your browser but can Outlook 207 open up the full
article automatically within itself like NewzCrawler can be set to do?

In the message tab of the RSS item, you should see the full article.

Hi Patrick,

Nope I don't. I've set-up BBC UK front page from scratch today. I selected
to download enclousures, but all I get in the message is the summary text of
the article then a link to the 'full article' which opens up in a separate
browser window.

I've tried another feed and selected to download the full article as an
attachment. The .htm file attachment is in the message, I click on it but
then says that the file cannot be previewed as there is no previewer
installed for it.

Hi Kol,

The problem is the feed itself. I have never tried the BBC feeds, but
someone else has told me before that they only supply a "teaser" via
RSS. If you subscribe to the RSS of my blog e.g., you'll get the full
article via RSS as that is what I chose to distribute.
In order to see the full article inside Outlook directly in your case,
you'll have to wait till someone provides an HTML previewer for Outlook.
I don't know when one will be available.

OK, ta. The BBC feeds (full articles) work fine in NewzCrawler, in fact I
have no problems with any feeds so far.
