Drupal faceted search nodes from old category still showing up

Are you using a content type with revisions enabled?
This is incompatible with faceted search which builds it's query on the nid and not on the vid. For example if you edit a node with nid 10 and vid 20 and a term tid 1. A new entry in the term_node table is inserted: nid 10 vid 21 tid 2. The faceted search module will build a query using the nid and tid only. When you filter in your search for the term with tid 1 the module will query on tid 1 and will still find the node with nid 10 but it's the wrong revision of that node.

Drupal simplenews + mime mail and php mail in general: The ghost exclamation mark!!!

Apparently when your line length exceeds 998 characters an exclamtion mark is placed in your mail. This is exactly what happend to us when we tried sending a hmtl newsletter using simple news and mime mail module.
When using thunderbird you can see the source of your email. (with other clients probably too) You ll see the html part of the multipart mail is one line. Which offcourse exceeds the line length. Resulting in many Exclamation marks in your mail.
The Solution:
You ll have to chunk up your email before it reaches the mail() function.

Parsing xml easy mode!

If you have php5 you should use simplexml: http://be.php.net/manual/en/book.simplexml.php
If you're on php4 you can use the class simplexml44 which is a backport of the php5 simple xml class http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ister4framework/simplexml44-0_4_4.tar...

Why use this?
It has all the functionality you ll need build in. So no need to try create your own parser.
