Yeah, but you're assuming I'm using a platform that supports Google Gears. I use a Treo 650 phone :-) I agree RSS is not intended to work that way. So there is still no forum solution that I know of that allows me to download the full content of all posts I haven't read yet, and read them on a random small device (e.g. a Treo650, or a Nokia N800, or a Sharp Zaurus) that supports offline email reading and replying. -- Rod _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
