Couple of thoughts, firstly, doesn't the opening up in a new browser "kind
of go against the idea of RSS newsfeeds?" - the idea of RSS feeds are to be
included automatically within your site. If you are opening a new window
then why not simply link to the original site? Secondly, you could include
a copyright statement with web address within the title of the item,
although most of the RSS newsfeeds include a clear statement of origin,
i.e., LTSN-01 or Biz/ed.
Cheers
