Kenneth, please contact me directly and we'll try to figure out what's going on. I tried to go to your website, but it appeared to be down.

Apparently, my “No such interface supported” exception was NOT related to the SPs… I have just installed everything Office Update has to offer and I still get the same exception. Any ideas?
Obviously, there’s something different on my machine than yours… I’m running Outlook 2002 on Windows XP with .NET Framework 1.0.

I’m going to try to address a bunch of the questions and issues from all the posts here in one place.

1. Ziv, I don’t immediately plan to integrate the code into Aggie – really I’m using Aggie as more of a class library. More to come on this later.

2. Steve, I am indeed considering making this into an Outlook add-in, mostly for the additional integration points that are available, and for a couple of other reasons I’m not going to talk about yet. :-)

3. Sam, my guess is you’re using a Radio-generated OPML subscription file. If you do, you’ll get the problem you’re seeing. This is an Aggie limitation; to work around it, create a new OPML file, which looks like the myChannels.opml in the olnews distribution. The Radio version has some extra attributes that are causing the problem. If you remove all attributes from the
elements except for “xmlurl”, it will re-generate the rest for you. Also remove the header stuff you have in the
element.

I am still having the bug of no content after all 3 SPs.

Scratch that-) That happens if you drag the file out on to the desktop and don’t run from the directory – maybe you should GAC the assemblies….

Problem. I did just install all 3 SPs and now I get an ACCVIO saying that “Could not find Aggie.xfg.orig” but it’s right there in the directory
