In Outlook, only 1 RSS item shows up, from Sharepoint.

Question

Ok, I have not been able to find this one.  We have recently enabled RSS feeds on Sharepoint.  If we add the feed to outlook, it only displayes the FIRST item.  when you first subscribe, it looks like it goes through EVERY post, but only displays the first one, it does not grab the other ones.  It is a really weird error.  I am hoping that someone has an idea on how to fix this.  Thanks!

If you are using RSS make sure the link and the guid are unique urls.  If they are unique for the specific feed item they will show up.
Template example of a feed that will work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Some Feed Title</title>
<lastBuildDate>7/13/2010 5:00:04 AM</lastBuildDate>
<language>en-us</language>
<item>
<title>Some Item Title</title>
<link>http://www.Some_Site_Unique_URL?id=1</link>
<guid>http://www.Some_Site_Unique_URL?id=1</guid>
<pubDate>7/13/2010 5:00:04 AM</pubDate>
<description>The item feed description.</description>
</item>
<item>
<title>Some Item Title 2</title>
<link>http://www.Some_Site_Unique_URL?id=2</link>
