Bloggis Email Address in RSS Feed
The Bloggis RSS feed encodes the email address as username@bloggis.se, which means that FeedBurner thinks that it can send you email and includes the "Email the Author" link if you select it under FeedFlare options. From the FeedBurner page: "Allow subscribers to email you directly using a web-based form FeedBurner provides. (If there is no author email address encoded in your feed, this Flare does not display.)" You can manually enable or disable the link in FeedBurner's control panel, but there is no way to change the email address that appears in the RSS feed, either via Bloggis or FeedBurner.
See my FeedBurner Feed to see what I mean. I tried setting my email address as visible to logged in users, but that doesn't seem to make a difference in the address that is used in the feed. I do understand why people might not want their actual email address included in the RSS feed by default, but it would be cool if there was a checkbox to enable it. (I'm not sure that using a nonexistent address by default is such a great idea, it seems like it would be better to not include one at all so people like me don't think everything is hunky-dory and assume that because a feed service found an email address, it will work just fine.)
