While Firefox 1.5b2 clearly indentifies the RSS-feed and offers the familiar feed-icon in the address bar, Thunderbird 1.5b2 fails to retrieve the feed from the given URI. Only by looking at the page source I was able to subscribe to the feed: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MacosXrumors/Macscoop" href="http://www.macosxrumors.com/macosxrumors-rss2.php" />
Loads fine on tb1.5b2/windows.
Thunderbird doesn't do autodiscovery in HTML pages. It could, so I'll change this to an enhancement.

not platform-specific, adjusting to "all". Thanks for accepting as enhancement. I think it would be only natural for users if TB acted in the "same" way as Firefox in this regard.
