RSS E-mail address

[SkyWarp]

In IE7.0 Beta 2 RSS feeds are shown right inside the browser window.  The e-mail address of each poster is also visible.  How can I change it so that the poster's username is displayed instead of the e-mail address.  I need to keep e-mail addresses from getting harvested.

Dude... are you serious?! *disables RSS feeds*

Okay, I know just enough about PHP to comment out things without causing the file to break.  So with that much known, I have finally found the code that was producing the e-mail in the IE 7.0 News Feeds and commented it out. 

Sources\News.php is the file you want. 

Do a search for "author."

The first instance you can skip -- looks like  <author>
The second instance you can skip -- looks like </author>
The third instance you will want to comment out (line 547 or there about)*
The fourth instance you can comment out (line 564 or there about)*
The fifth instance you can comment out (line 653 or there about)*
The sixth instance you can comment out (line 670 or there about)*

* How to comment out code.  In the 3rd through 6th instances you can simply place two forward slashes "//"  (no quotes of course) at the very beginning of the line you want to comment out.  However, don't assume you can do this to any line anytime, for you could run into problems.  Now you may not need to comment each of those four items out, as I did not test each one individually.  But commenting all four out will get rid of the e-mail code.
