 * Just to tie up any loose ends. All is working perfectly now. While POP never 
   worked, IMPA did. Initially however, the SSL version refused to connect.
 * Only after the thing was switched from Sockets to Curl did everything fall into
   place.
 * For a novice like me, it was not an easy set-up – my expertise is in SEO not 
   mail and server set up – but never give in.
 * Thanks for everyone’s assistance.

 * Thanks for all the helpful suggestions; turned out that the hosting company had
   _NOT_ activated iconv on their new server set-up.
 * That bit is fixed; however, I’m now having issues with the set-up based on the
   fact I’m using my own smtp mailserver, as part of hosting package. No combination
   of POP settings seems to work, with the debug messages saying that _Postie_ cannot
   connect, with “network unreachable” or “network unavailable”. This is highly 
   likely to be another server set-up issue and I have gone back to the hosts to
   ask for a fix and/or guidance as to my set-up.
 * Watch this space.

 * I understand that you don’t explicitly support RTF, but without extra tabs being
   added, and the ability to prefix and suffix the feed one could use your plugin
   to produce RTF files.

 * With a little old-fashioned experimentation and a lttle luck I expect we’ve found
   a set-up which works …
 *     ```
       # URL rewriting module activation
   
       	RewriteEngine On
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
          <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

       	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   
       	RewriteRule ^(blog)/? blog.php [L]
   
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
   
       # BEGIN PrestaShop URL rewriting rules
   
       	RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$2$4 [L,E]
       	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$1$3 [L,E]
       	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ category.php?id_category=$1 [QSA,L,E]

       	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)__([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ supplier.php?id_supplier=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
       	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ manufacturer.php?id_manufacturer=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
   
       # Catch 404 errors
       	ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
   
       # END PrestaShop URL rewriting rules
       ```
   
 * Not at all sure how it works, just that it does

 * I did that, well wordpress did that, first of all: put the WP portion at the 
   END of the file.
 * This was where I finally got fed up trying to make it work.

   other wise brilliant [All in One SEO Pack](http://semperfiwebdesign.com/portfolio/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/)
   plugin.
 * Done.

 * I now have a solution based on Feed Wrangler, although it’s probably not very
   elegant.
 * I duplicated `wp-rss2.php` as `feed-news.php` and added the code
 *     ```
       $keyword = $_GET['keyword'];
       $keyword_cap = ucwords($keyword);
       ```
   
 * into the top of the file.
 * Immediately after the <description> tag I added
 *     ```
       <?php echo $keyword_cap; ?>
       ```
   
 * and after
 *     ```
       <?php while( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * I added
 *     ```
       <?php if(strstr(strtolower(get_the_content()), $keyword )) : ?>
       ```
   
 * closing the whole thing with
 *     ```
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * placed immediately before
 *     ```
       <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * Now, by using the feed `http://www.mysite.co.uk/news/?keyword=keyword` I get 
   an RSS feed for whatever `keyword` I use providing, of course, that the keyword
   appears in the posts.
 * One other thing; I upped the number of feed posts displayed in WordPress’s settings
   to 200.
 * Seems to work fine.

    Could you please be a little more

 * Uninstall Akismet and try something else, [Spambam](http://www.thespanner.co.uk/category/spam-bam/)
   for instance.
 * Seems to work so far; no deluge of slimy pink stuff (spam, that is)
