A bit of progress in getting a Windows RSS client to authenticate for the trackback feed: feedreader exhibits the same behaviour as NetNewsWire: challenging for http authentication with a modal dialog, and returning trackbacks if a manager-role username/password are provided.

See www.feedreader.com for more information about a free newsreader for windows which behaves correctly when challenged for authentication by KNotes' trackback management feed. It looks like a very good reader - for instance it does a good job with the RSS2 full content feeds from KNotes.

We'll try to investigate the problems we encounter trying to subscribe with NewsGator and RSSReader. If anyone knows anything about the issue, please let us know either by replying here, or from my IName.
