It would be good to be able to trim post aggregated from (uncontrollable) external sites. This would make it feasible to use a feed on the front page of a website, or in a block, without breaking something.

http://groups.drupal.org/node/12694#comment-40925 provides a simple function to do this.

It would be good to be able to a) choose whether to trim posts at all, and b) choose what length. I think trimming would have to remove html, or risk leaving tags open, but that should be ok.

Ideally, this would be a per-feed option, but would also be useful as a general option (that could possibly be overridden?)

Use another Feed import system if you want more control over the import process.
