Full Idea
We can say that non-Fregean content [reference] is (virtually) always contrued as broad, while Fregean content [sense] is usually contrued as narrow.
Clarification
'Broad' content involves things outside the mind
Gist of Idea
On the whole, referential content is seen as broad, and sense content as narrow

A Reaction
I can't make sense of mental content actually being outside the mind, so I see all content as narrow - but that doesn't mean that externals are irrelevant to it. If I think that is an oak, and it's an elm, the content is oak.
