Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 Release Notes
Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8 Release Notes
I installed the newest release of Thunderbird this morning and noticed something funny when I was clicking “next”. The install asks you if you want the common or custom options of course, then I noticed the next page has “RSS support” checked. That’s right, thunderbird has built in RSS support in the 0.8 version. It’s pretty simple, read-only. But it has the option to either display just the summary or to go fetch the web page the feed item links to. That’s pretty nifty. I also noticed that they include the “reply” and “Reply all” buttons when reading the feed item. A handy way to forward on interesting items from your feed to a friend or maybe post-by-email to your own blog a-la NewsGator? Maybe a handy hook into supporting the CommentAPI? Dare we dream?
updateScott Hanselman explains how to get the “RSS” badge to show up in FireFox 1.0PR. The WordPress templates have supported the “link” meta tag for quite some time now. Groovy.
