if you create a xml file with 3 news with 3 links as
link="http://mywebsite1.com"
link="http://mywebsite2.com"
link="http://mywebsite3.com"
and delete the rss flux under TB
after tou create the same xml file with 2 news with 2 links as:
link="http://mywebsite1.com"
link="http://mywebsite4.com"

TB only receive the new about the link link="http://mywebsite4.com"

to resolve this problem i have to purge the files under TB and under
C:\Documents and Settings\castell\Application
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\6f9rkmxf.default\Mail\Nouvelles et Blogs

and create a new rss flux which now is perfect!!!!

sorry for my english!!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a simply xml file (rss feed) like this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
   <title>Lezartistes news</title>
   <link>http://lezartistes.org/htm/</link>
   <description>Lezartistes, l'émotion à fleur de doigts... art et
escalade</description>
   <category>actualités de Lezartistes</category>
   <language>fr</language>
<item>
  <title>28/02/05 - les news de Zebloc, Kairn et Bleau.Info sont visibles sur le
site</title>
  <link>http://lezartistes.org/htm/knews.php</link>
</item>
<item>
  <title>21/02/05 - ajout de photos Buthiers Piscine ( par Gilles )</title>
  <link>http://lezartistes.org/htm/sommaire_buthiers.htm</link>
</item>
<item>
  <title>13/02/05 - ajout d'une photo émotion</title>
  <link>http://lezartistes.org/htm/sommaire_emotion.htm</link>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

2. put it in web location
3. under TB read this Rss feed
4. now update the rss file
add a new item like this:
<item>
  <title>01/03/05 - ajout de photos Buthiers Piscine</title>
  <link>http://lezartistes.org/htm/sommaire_buthiers.htm</link>
</item>
5. put in the same web location
6. update under TB the feed Rss
7. TB don't receive the new news... because the link as been used yet... (but
it's a real new news, with others pics for example)
Actual Results:  
TB don't receive the new news


with others feed readers (like rssXpress) it's not a problem, all the news (with
same links, are received)... the pb is only with TB

if you have some people who speak french, i can explain better in french language!!!

Is this the same as bug 260745?

i had a problem, that i think is the same as this bug.
when the link address is the same for several items, one the first one appears, yet each item is unique.  I have been using RSS2.0 and the <guid> and <pubdate> are unique for each item, yet still TB only displays the first item, because the <link> address for each is the same.

That is bug 260745, which was duped by Robert Sayre, who knows RSS a lot 
better than I do, to bug 264482.  I suspect this is also a dupe.
