Certainly; I have no problems with Thunderbird - I used it occasionally to test encryption in emails - I was just pointing out how great Opera is . I might have a look at Thunderbird for RSS now since I'm not so happy with Liferea which is what I was running on Linux.

edit: whoops, seems I actually have Evolution installed, not Thunderbird...

Thanks for the comments Mike 

Here's a quick RSS tutorial:

1. Download Mozilla Thunderbird: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
2. In Thunderbird, create a new account, select "RSS" as account type and enter this url: http://www.progarchives.com/RSS/progarchives.xml
3. Voila!

Of course you can use RSS in numerous ways, this is only a suggestion to get you started! Of course it's especially useful if you can use Thunderbird for E-Mail too ... so you get it all in one application.

 

Here's how you could implement it:

/rss.asp?genres=10,23,44

Simply parse the genres parameter and use the genre IDs in an SQL query. Then all we need is a form where you can select genres and as a result the system builds the url, which you can then bookmark.

I want to know if it worth the developpement efforts

What is RSS @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29


Or if a newsletter is still the way to go to syndicate our new reviews.
