Re: RSS feeds changing <TITLE> attribute or possible escape char bug. . .

my gawd rafael... what has happened to your nice little application ?

forget all previous issues for now as i have scrapped the entire previous zoe install and am 
restoring it's functionality from scratch, step-by-step along the way to ensure each leg is 
functioning before moving to the next.

i have installed a vanilla zoe without any accounts... imported only my RSS feeds file before doing 
anything else, and it appears to have worked.

i then shut zoe down through the gui and went to start it back up to ensure that the imported RSS 
feeds were still functioning, and noticed all these errors pertaining to one of the RSS feeds:

"11/27 10:03:52 (Warning) InternetAddress.parse: javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Missing '"' 
in string ``"Hello 2Day.. I'm so Confussed =\" <[email protected]>'' at 
position 80"

it appears that the error is repeated for every <ITEM> in the feed.

so i restarted zoe (without changing anything) and now it appears as tho i have 2 messages in the 
main zoe store that were in fact newly posted RSS feed entries.  now listed under the "Contributors" 
section is the address http://127.0.0.1:10080/address/com/livejournal/hello.2day.i.m.so.confussed, 
and listed in the "Lists" section is the original name for this same RSS feed 
http://127.0.0.1:10080/list/2004/11/27/nothin.special%40livejournal.com (with the older entries 
listed under that.)

any idea what's up ?  is this because of oddities in the LJ RSS feed ?  the <TITLE> for this feed 
appears to have changed at just this moment.  feeds that change <TITLE> shouldn't be a problem, 
right ?

to my lamen eyes it looks like zoe didn't like the new <TITLE> having the symbols "=\" in it and is 
processing it as-is and escaping an ending quote marks sonewhere else down the line.  below is the 
rss feed content with <ITEM>'s removed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

sorry for all these issues but this one in particular is with the most vanilla baseline install 
possible (without any accounts added yet) and shouldn't be having problems at all so this looks like 
a bug (or "feature" as some call it ;) somewhere.
