increasing posts on feed and email subscribers

[storynory]

Hi

We have a podcast feed

http://feeds.feedburner.com/storynory

Currently there are 30 episodes on the feed. I often receive
requests to make more shows available in iTunes.

I see that other prodcasts have up 100 episodes on their feeds. I
would like to increase the number.

About 1500 odd subscribers aren't using iTunes for our podcast feed,
but the Feedburner email subscription service.

My fear is that if I bump up from 30 to 100 episodes on the feed, our
email subscribers will get hit with 70 emails. I've noticed this
happen before when I've increased the feed number. The old episodes
coming onto the feed get emailed out.

I would hate to flood the email subscribers' in boxes, and I'm sure
they would unsubscribe in droves if I did.

Is there a solution please?

Thanks

Hugh

Normally if you suddenly added n items to your feed, no matter their
actual publication dates, our email service would correctly determine
those are all "new" to it (unless they had all previously appeared in
the feed before *while the email subscription service itself was
active*, and therefore FeedBurner knew about them). I don't know if it
would be possible to deactivate the email service, update your source
feed to have n new items in it, and *then* reactivate email without
having a bunch of items sent out as a new email post. Let me find out.

Hi,
As Matt S, has mentioned :

* Deactivate the email service
* Increase your number of feed items to 100 in your feed
* Reactivate your email service

Let us know once you have reactivated and before your email delivery
time so we can make sure that we computed digests for all those items.

Thanks,

Hi Feedburner Mechanic

Thanks for your suggestion

how will I let you know about when I have reactivated the email
delivery... by email ... to what address - or by posting here?

Anyway, thanks

Hugh

Matt - how do I let you know when I've reactivated the email service?
Do I email you? If so, to what address please? Thanks Hugh

Ok, I'm asking one more time. Thank you for your suggestion. You say
that I should let you know when I have reactivated the email service.
How do I let you know ???
