I've tried several options over the past few years being a serious news junkie. IE is a passable RSS reader but unless they improved it with version 8 I don't particularly recommend it. It's very basic. It doesn't even render the post date on the feed articles according to your local time. Again maybe v8 is better. I don't use IE anymore. I also tried several Outlook RSS plugins. I noticed in the message header you're not using 2007.) Intrav News was the best of the bunch but its latest version caused pages not to be read correctly in Outlook even when reading messages it didn't create. For obvious reasons there probably won't be any more work done on it. I was using Sage 2 for Firefox, but it to is no longer being worked on and isn't compatible with the latest version of the browser. The bookmark feature of Firefox will work, but it's a clunky way to get at feeds. It requires too many steps.
The best solution I have at the moment is a web based reader called Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com.) with Its reasonably accessible and you can move from feed to feed with a hotkey. (Note in browse mode you need to hit the bypass hotkey first.) The main concern with Bloglines at least the last time I checked was that the beta they are working on isn't as accessible as their current interface. It has been some time since I tried the beta, so maybe they've improved this. I did send them feedback. They've been working on that beta for what seems like years, but eventually they're bound to replace the current interface with it. They also seem to have a high rate of technical glitches. Still, they provide the ability to import and export OPML files, so it's worth setting up and using until you have to find another solution. I'm in the process of updating my feeds now to incorporate the changes since I last used the service.
