Hi,

I'd like to intergate a function f with NIntegrate:
NIntegrate[f[x], {x, 0, 0.1}]

But this doesn't work if, i.e.

f = NIntegrate[Sin[x + #], {x, 0, 1}] &

It will give a wrong result (0.7 instead of 0.05). Why? I mean, I can 
evaluate f at any point without problems, i.e. f[0.1] gives 0.37. So why 
doesn't

NIntegrate[f[x], {x, 0, 0.1}]

work? It doesn't even give a warning! So, is there a proper way to do this 
(without using one two-dimensional NIntegrate)?

Regards
