Mozilla Thunderbird has the ability to parse and display RSS feeds as
well. File->New Account->RSS News & Blogs->Next->Account
Name->Next->Finish Now in the left pane is a new entity called 'News &
Blogs' unless you named it something else. Click on it will reveal
settings on the right pane. 'Manage subscriptions' is what you want,
click on 'Add' and enter the url to the feed in the 'Feed URL' and click
'Ok'. It should then proceed to connect and get the feed. Now you can
go back to the left pane and click on it and read the entries as if they
were email. It works great with syndicated photoalbums too, like those
on livejournal and gallery/gallery2-based albums, among others.
