The extension I recommended *doesn't* require any additional hacks -- Whereas the one you're using does. I recommended the newer one, simply because most people didn't like the one you're using, as it needed other extensions installed to work. All you have to do is read the comments on Bugzilla to understand what I'm talking about. In my mind an extension that requires other extensions to work, isn't a well written extension. <shrug> For that reason alone, I would recommend that you refer people to the new one. > > The only thing I use Thunderbird for these days is reading RSS feeds, which > > it's quite good at. > > I do that within Opera.

Incidentally if you're already using T-Bird for e-mail, why wouldn't you use it to read RSS? seems strange that a browser would be used. XML/RSS feeds are better in my opinion when read like e-mail. Especially with the frequency that most RSS feeds are updated. To each their own I guess. -- Regards Stephen A.
