Perhaps hints need a-dropping? I believe this is implimented in XSLT. Many of the posts in the archive are pretty lengthy, contain nested quoting etc. And some have attachments linked from the main post. I'm not sure the raw contents would be a great thing to include within the RSS feed. And there could be server-load considerations too, thinking about it. But yes, ultimately I would love to see better message summaries integrated into a lists.w3.org RSS service. I think it'd involve someone doing some coding though... Perhaps a rough algorithm to begin with might be: excerpt the first 10 lines that don't begin with a '>' character? Dan ps. I just asked my colleagues about possibility of adding RSS autodiscovery <link/> tags.
