Failed news feed... how is it handled?

I originally posted this on the FB Calibre page, and I'm reposting it here as well.

When a feed cannot be found, how are other scheduled feeds handled?

For example, I get at 404 Not found for the "El Periodico de Catalunya" feed, but in reality, when I try and open it, the epub file seems to actually include the next scheduled feed download, in my case "San Jose Mercury News". If I then try to open the SJ Merc feed, that is where I actually see the 404 Not Found message for El Periodico. I have all these scheduled feeds emailed to my Gmail account automatically.

I'm using version 0.6.42, as included in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.

That's odd. A failed download should never result in an epub file. IRIC, there were some problems with bulk emaillings in older versions. I suggest updating to the newest first.
