I used to be able to do this, but have since upgraded to version 1.02. I miss this feature, and haven't been able to do it for a long time. Thanks for the update.

I used to be able to do this, but have since upgraded to version 1.02. I miss this feature, and haven’t been able to do it for a long time.

Thanks for the update.

A little XUL for a menu, or just steal it from Live bookmarks, a little CSS or an image, you're done.

But, I was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same problem I am. I have a bunch of subscriptions, and they worked fine when I subscribed, but I cannot seem to get them to refresh!!! Anyone seen this, or know what I have screwed up?? Thanks, Ken I too, am excited about the Thunderbird RSS support. But, I was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same problem I am.

Having recently switched to Firefox (and Thunderbird btw) I ran to try the RSS autodiscovery tool and have put several links straight into the bookmark toolbar. IT ROCKS! OMG I've just noticed the alternate styles button alongside the RSS button in the status bar!! Browser heaven! Can’t let the day go by without thanking you for this post (and the rest of course).

Sure, you can export to OPML, but that does nothing for me and my 43 feeds in NetNewsWire that I need to import into Thunderbird 1.0 in OPML format to make it worth my time.
