 * Hello,
 * First of all; Great Plugin!
 * However, we are dealing with one issue on our site. We use an external featured
   image plugin for each post in our news feed. While they show up well on our posts
   page, they do not show up in our RSS feed.
 * Our first step in resolving this issue was to contact the developer of the external
   image plugin who tracked down and identified the issue. It looks like your plugin
   is adding the external image to the RSS feed but is formatting the output in 
   a manner that browsers are stripping out.
 * We were going to try a few mods on your plugin code based on the other developers
   input but thought we should try and enlist your help to guide us along.
 * To make things easier you can view all of the information we’ve received at this
   thread;
 * We really like both plugins and would rather seek to resolve the issue rather
   than switching plugins.
 * Thank you in advance!
 * The BWVI Team

 * Oh I see, yeah my plugin is using the built-in WP function for outputting the
   featured image attached to the post, and is not compatible with external featured
   images and the way the other plugin is making it work.
 * Perhaps the External Featured Images plugin could be modified to add it’s featured
   images to the RSS feed, so it does it all and would output the img src properly
   according to the external URL.
