Okay, so I finally figured out how to use the RSS feeds in Thunderbird. I
thought that I would need an extension, but I don't.
Wow! This is like the coolest thing. I'll have to check it out with other RSS
feeds that I'm aware of but haven't tried yet.
I'm using Thunderbird at home and at work, so that will be very cool.

I also use Thunderbird (version 1.0.2), and the full EUforum RSS feed
works fine for me.
However, until now I wasn't able to get the RSS feed for Recent User
Contributions <http://www.rapideuphoria.com/usercont.xml>. Can you read
this feed with Thunderbird?

I have Thunderbird 1.0.6, and cannot get any RSS feeds. I get a message
that says
'http://www.rapideuphoria.com/usercont.xmlis not a valid RSS feed'.

I know that the current Thunderbird version is 1.5RC1. 
I want to wait with upgrading, until the official version 1.5
is released.
However, isn't it strange that the full EUforum RSS feed -- as well as
some other non Euphoria related RSS feeds -- work fine for me, while I
can't get the RSS feed for Recent User Contributions?
That's why I asked. If nobody here can get the RSS feed for Recent User
Contributions, then it's probably not a problem with my system at all.
But if other people here can get the RSS feed for Recent User
Contributions, then I think I should look for a problem on my system.

Juergen

No experience with Thunderbird but I do receive the Recent User Contributions
RSS.

I use FeedReader for Windows, it works fantastic. When you first run it, you
notice that it already downloads and updates hundreds of feeds from different
websites. I've added the contribution and full Euforum feeds.

So it's actually a problem with (my obsolete version of) Thunderbird.
I'll ask in a Thunderbird group for more information.

Yes. I just cut and pasted the url the same way I did with the EUforum. The
message subject only seems to display the *last* contribution, but the message
body contains the rapideuphoria front page with all recent contribs listed.

http://www.rapideuphoria.com/usercont.xml

I should specify -- the message subject only contains the latest user
contribution. The message body shows the rapideuphoria front page that lists
*all* recent contributions.
