Retweets not appearing in status/user_timeline when using JSON output

[Christian Joudrey]

Hello,

I have a bizarre issue with status/user_timeline.

When output is set to RSS, retweets appear in the output:

i.e. http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/27691615.rss

However, if you set the output to JSON, retweets disapear:

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/27691615.json

Is this a known issue with the API?

Best regards,

Christian

"Note: For backwards compatibility reasons, retweets are stripped out of the user_timeline when calling in XML or JSON (they appear with 'RT' in RSS and Atom). If you'd like them included, you can merge them in from statuses retweeted_by_me."

Or use the home_timeline.

Just wondering if pointing to home_timeline wouldn't be better than
pointing to retweeted_by_me...
