The RSS folders are basically just simple local folders; you can use them to 
store anything you want.  You can drag messages from your inbox to an RSS 
folder, for instance.

I tend to agree that, from a UI standpoint, they should be 'specialized' a bit 
to be more like newsgroups and not as stores of anything other than the items 
from the feed -- but there is no technical reason against it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
