  I have received an email from a reader about not getting RSS feeds from November 8 till now:

  This happened simultaneously on my 2 computers and only for the POSTS feed of your blog. RSS feeds from other blogs give no problem. Also I have no problem with the Comments feed.

  This is might be related to the latest Thunderbird version (v. 8.0) which has been been released on 8th November = date of the latest downloaded feed (!). I have deleted the feed to your posts and tried to install them again but now I get a “http://xianblog.wordpress.com/feed is not a valid feed”. Reinstalling Thunderbird didn’t solve the issue nor even going back to the latest working Thunderbird installation.

  So I am writing you to let you know about this issue, not to solve my own specific problem but just in case the issue is not due to Thunderbird but to some settings you might have recently modified in your blog.

  Your feed is working properly, and it’s valid. I’m going to have to say that this may be an issue with Thunderbird.

  Thank you (in the meanwhile I removed a spurious character created by a cut&paste from a pdf document, which may explain why it does work now).

  That could definitely have been the culprit! Thanks for posting back about this. It’s helpful.
