When trying to set up rss2email, I found out that either Mark's ultraliberal RSS parser or rss2email don't like JSPWiki feeds. JSPWiki RSS feeds are pretty minimal, but they sure validate against the RSS Validator. Running rssparser standalone brings back a list of items, but for some strange reason, they don't get passed into rss2email.

Still, when brought into rss2email, it seems like there are no items in that feed. The good news is that this was the opportunity to work with Komodo's debugger. I bought Komodo on Sam's advise, and while it was good money, and most IDEs need more screen estate than my measly 1024*768 pixels, I like it so far. But still, I have a lot to learn, apparently.
