Thanks a lot for this, I'll use your information to fix feedjack. I'm
using an oooooold version of django so I'm updating my local copy to
trunk, update feedjack and release a new trunk-friendly version.

Issue 1:
Just use 'safe' filter like the following
{{ item.content|safe }}

Other issue:
- 'maxlength' is too old for defining model, currently we should use
max_length, otherwise it always raises warning.
- In Feed model, etag doesn't setup null=True, so feedjack_update.py
doesn't work on my workstation.
- Thinking others.

Everything has already been fixed in feedjack-trunk, I have several
sites running it with no problems and without a single mail alert.
I'll release it as soon as I write the changes doc.

Alex,

In your post you mention this:
> Getting feedjack_update.py to work requires you to place this file in the parent directory of your > Django project. From there, you can call the settings file by typing \47python feedjack_update.py > --settings="projectname.settings" \47

I got it running simply by setting the two need environment vars in
the command line:

$ PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/your/django/project
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="projectname.settings" feedjack_update.py

I guess the env vars could be set in a bash script wrapping
feedjack_update.py you could use with a cronjob for example.

That worked for me,
