Feeds: How to extract originating address?
Whoosh
originating page. But I can't get back to the original feed! I get to
the subscribed page but I can't get to the page I originally started in.
Is there a way of extracting it from the URL or some other way? There is
a long URL at the bottom in red but that is just the copy of the URL of
that page. Do I need to bookmark them all? That would work but I'm sure
to forget sometimes.

The URL of the feed is in the feed settings. Right-click on a feed in the
mail panel, bring up its properties and you'll see the URL.
The exact web page that linked to the feed when you subscribed could be
anywhere, or even one of any page of a website, there's no way of knowing
which one.

In Properties it just takes me to the red bannered Subscribe page. Not
the webpage that I subscribed from.
I was just going to post this then I played with the URL. I noticed RSS
in the end of the webpage and wondered what would happen if I removed it
from RSS to the end. Low and behold...POOF. I'm right back at the
originating webpage! Miracles DO happen. I'm a happy camper. Now I can
save the text - much more efficient than bookmarking a webpage.

Don't know if the last message got posted but anyways, if it didn't, you
locate RSS in the URL, near the end, then remove it with everything after
it. Then you're at the originating webpage. Kind of makes sense when you
think about it. I was going to save it as a text but then I thought it
might be nice to mirror the Feeds in a Folder for Bookmarks. Less work
then saving text.
