I used the ASP.NET MVC REST SDK for building atom feedS for our exception logging dashboard and it worked perfect.
When creating the syndication content, I used CreateHTMLContent and added a PRE tag around my HTML content string. Now it shows in a nice formatted way on internet explorer. But when reading the feed through outlook 2007, I am losing the formatting totally. Do you have any idea how to format the feeds for outlook 2007.
Thanks,
I suggest that you start by going here and vote for what is currently the number one requested fix in Outlook!

Customers use web queries to grab data in the tables directly from our website and place them into excel where they can automatically work on it. while trying to grab data from our website, we noticed that table markers were not shown. excel is unable to recognize the tables on the web page.
Website was developed using RoR.
can someone help us with this issue?
You may want to consider using Power Query instead of regular web queries. With the "from Web" option you can get the DOM into Power Query and access any DOM element.
I am looking for a way to allow users without the Office 20XX package to view documents in a Sharepoint 2007 document library. Ideally, it would allow them to open the documents directly from the document library, but if it's implemented through a web part where you select documents and such, that would be great as well.
It is not a necessity that people can edit the documents, they simply need to be able to view them. I am looking for something that opens both Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, but a solution that only covers one type still has interest.
In SharePoint 2007, you can view Excel documents in Excel Services via Excel Web Access WebPart:

For Word, you can use Word to HTMl Service:

Things are much more easier if you have SharePoint 2010.
You could have a document converter, convert all your office documents to word format

Then use the word to web page document converter

Does anyone know where to find the RSS feeds in the new twitter? I cannot find the rss icon and the source of the page just points to "Your Twitter Favorites" even though I am on the page of the user I want to get an RSS feed from...
Simple I know, but its bugging me to no end!
2014 edit:
It looks like Twitter has retired RSS feeds, and now only exports data as JSON:
What output formats will API v1.1 support?
API v1.1 will support JSON only. We’ve been hinting at this for some
time now, first dropping XML support on the Streaming API and more
recently on the trends API. XML, Atom, and RSS are infrequently used
today, and we’ve chosen to throw our support behind the JSON format
shared across the platform. Consequently, we’ve decided to discontinue
support for these other formats. For historical context, when we
originally built the API all major languages did not have performant,
well vetted libraries supporting JSON - today they do.
Orignal 2010 answer:
Here are the various feed URLs (using the account "Twitter" for these examples):
http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/Twitter.rss
http://twitter.com/favorites/Twitter.rss
http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=Twitter
The new Twitter layout isn't very RSS-friendly, unfortunately.
You won't be able to find it because Twitter stopped support for RSS :(
Something I needed, so built a Twitter to RSS converter, it works on hashtags, searches and lists. I've now opened it up totally free for anyone else who needs a solution.
Get it here - Twitter RSS Feed Generator
Recommende you to use the free website ahejlsberg, put the id into the textbox next to #, then click the "Fetch RSS" button.
You can get the RSS feed url: https://twitrss.me/twitter_user_to_rss/?user=ahejlsberg.
I found that this works for particular users (I had been trying to figure out their ids which was the way rss used to work but this works fine):
[Updated]
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=johnpiper
[Updated Sept 2014]
no longer works again...
[Alternative Solution: May 2015]
I have since discovered http://www.queryfeed.net

See the home page for further documentation about how to structure other queries. The service does not seem to return all tweets.
I use OWC (Office Web Components) v10.0 to embed Excel grid in an asp.net page. Is there a replacement technology where excel grid can be embedded in the client side browser?
If you are using a Sharepoint Server, Microsoft offers something called Excel Services, which basically provides spreadsheet functionality in a browser, without requiring an actual component to be deployed (with the Excel work being done on the SPPS server. Info is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms546696.aspx
I know there is an OpenSource product called WikiCalc which is a client-side, spreadsheet component which works in the browser (from Dan Bricklin's company). Some info is here:
http://www.softwaregarden.com/products/wikicalc/index.html
There seems to be no .Net solution for client browser excel grid than OWC. Looks like SharePoint 2010 has Office Web Applications that allows Google Docs like spreadsheet functionality in browser. Would evaluate that.
looks like there is one.

So like many online companies, we send e-mail advertisements. Outlook 2007 has some quirky HTML rules so things that look fine in any browser, when sent to Outlook 2007, look horrific.
Is there a program where I can preview what the HTML would look like in Outlook 2007?
You are not alone ;-) What I do is try sending the email to me (alone) and then see how it comes out. AFAIK there are no software which can show you the preview ;-)
Edit: Check this question which some useful which you use while sending HTML emails.
I faced the same issue because of the switch from IE to Word as the rendering engine in Outlook 2007.
So I have been using Word 2007 to preview the HTML file to see how it looks, before sending it to Outlook. It has so far worked fine in my case. Try it and let us know if it works for all your cases.
Hello sendning Mass Mails throw Outlook isnt a good idea.
There are Many Opensource Massmailer Try http://sourceforge.net/projects/tellmatic/
And a preview option isnt aviable for html files nor other things in outlook no matter which version 2003 or 2007 or 2010.
Ive had exactly this same issue.
What i had to do is download outlook 2007 to sort this out, and then created a program to send myself emails to test.
Alternatively you can use this site to send emails to any email address:

Old thread i know, but i think my answer can help anyone that stumbles across this question much as i did.
