Out of curiosity... Does anyone use the rss reader in MS Outlook? I know MS is supposed to pack a lot of features to catch as much audience as possible, but are there enough people still using it to this day?
I used thunderbird like that a lot but everytime I needed to read or send an email for something productive I'd see that there's a new post somewhere and I'd check it.
It was actually a pretty decent thing if you set up a dedicated account (I used to maintain rss2mail and https://github.com/rcarmo/rss2imap).
I still have archived posts in MIME format, complete with images, etc. Amazing for archival purposes.
The tricky thing is actually dealing with title-only feeds - these days apps like Reeder will fetch a readable version of posts automatically, and I never got around to implementing that in earnest.
I used it for a few years to access rss feeds from non-public internet routable jira servers. It was pretty nice to monitor new issues across lots of projects.
