   I’m sure this isn’t a novel sentiment, but after reading all of my major RSS feeds through Thunderbird, I’m just going to mention that I think it’s terrific that Apple Mail is going to have RSS feed support now.

   I’m sure that that feature may not seem as cool as you think, but I can’t live without a mail client that doesn’t hve good RSS feed support. It’s pretty great.

   So that’s something to be excited about.

   Interesting. I see the “Create Todo” button when in Notes mode, but it doesn’t appear to be present when reading email. I wonder whether you can, in fact, select some text in an email and with one click or keystroke create a todo from it?

   I’ve often wished that MailTags itself offered this ability, and I’d certainly hope that the new Mail will.

   … I think it’s terrific that Apple Mail is going to have RSS feed support now.

   Me, too. Even though I’m using NetNewsWire (primarily) and Safari as feed readers there are some I’ll prefer having in Mail.

   I’m curious if any feed synchronization between Mail and Safari will be supported. Will they share the same SQLite database (on a single system)? If a feed exists in both apps will an article marked as read in one show up as read in the other?

   Could there eventually be a vendor-neutral standard for news feed sharing/synching so different clients could be used, sort of analogous to IMAP for mail? One reason I don’t use NewsGator for NNW syncing is to avoid being locked into a single vendor’s solution.

   This is what Giles Turnbull at MacDevCenter hopes too:

   A smarter move would be to create a preference somewhere in Mail or Safari that keeps feeds in both apps synchronized and up-to-date. After all, no-one is going to want to have to manage two sets of feeds in the two different applications; just because your context has changed, why should your data? To me this is exactly the same as Todo items suddenly being interlinked between Mail and iCal. I’d be astonished if there wasn’t something similar created for RSS feeds in Mail and Safari.

   Thanks, Tim. I’d opened Giles’ article in a NNW tab but hadn’t gotten around to reading it.
