Just noticed that Thunderbird 0.8 was released today.

Being such a huge TB fan, I tried it out immediately. I must say that it's nice to see RSS (and Atom) integration. TB's functionality is of course not in the same league as NewsGator, but if you don't use Outlook then you can't use that anyway.

I prefer a dedicated RSS reader myself, but I can see the appeal of being able to view everything from within a generic "news" client. "News" being your e-mail, UseNet newsgroups and RSS feeds. I hope the TB team follow through with the RSS support and improve upon it, they might just win me over.

Anyway, just wanted to share.
