For the items of some feeds, liferea displays comments (I assume that this is
via an XML line resembling this:

<link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://example.com/feeds/comments/nnnn' title='Post Comments'/>

).

It would be nice if the individual authors of the
comments were shown alongside them.

We already do it (at least it works with my blog). Of course the commend feed
needs to ship author information properly. We then display it as "By: author" in
the comment title.

Do you have a specific feed that should work but doesn't?

Cheers,

I know that comment feeds display properly.  What I meant was that when
I have an RSS feed, such as a blog, and the individual posts have
comments, Liferea displays the comments following the entry itself (in
the same entry window), but the displayed comments don't have author
information.  I'm not sure where exactly Liferea is getting those
comments from.

The above is true for the various Blogspot blogs that I have checked,
e.g. http://onthemainline.blogspot.com

Thank you for your work on this package!

I've checked that feed and it indeed doesn't show the author information. The
feed source contains it, but it also contains a "title" that is what we show
(yes, the title is the beginning of the comment itself, but that's not our fault).

It works well with my blog's rss feed (this one is atom). I'll see if I can make
it work for atom too.

Cheers,
Emilio

Just in case my earlier message wasn't clear, when I insert the comment
feed for a specific post into Liferea's feed list, then the individual
comments do have their authors displayed fine, even for blogs such as
the ones I mention above.  It's only the comment views appended to
individual posts that seem to have the problem.

Sure. I mean that it works for other feeds, like e.g.
http://emilio.pozuelo.org/?feed=rss2

(and I've just noticed it's not an atom vs. rss problem, I've seen an atom and
an rss feed that work).
