There needs to be some way to inform the user that a new article has come in.
When new mail comes in the new mail sound is played and a box appears displaying
the name of the account that has new mail and some text about having X messages.
This functionality should be extended to the rss accounts.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a feed
2.Minus thunderbird
3.Wait for a new article to come in
Actual Results:  
I forgot about my news feeds and dorked around on the computer for a few hours,
only to go to look up something hours later to find I had a ton of feed items
waiting for me.

Expected Results:  
Every time a new feed item comes in it should report in the "new mail" style box
form preferably telling me the name of the feed and the name of the feed item. A
new feed sound could be played.

This is a dup of bug 261841.

Note:  I am duping this bug to a newer bug that was created after this bug
because it has more activity and has had other bugs duped against it.
