I really don't think this is a Lightning issue.  Are there any errors in the Javascript console?

Yes here is what I get there:

Confirmed with Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 and Lightning 0.1+ (20060620). The error happens in http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/mail/extensions/newsblog/content/Feed.js&rev=1.42.2.1.2.1&mark=159#157 
Removing xmlextras.dll from Lightning fixes that problem (not sure if it causes other problems)

Same error in TB 1.5.0.4 Extension Manager when looking for updates, at least on Windows. Seems that it cannot cope with the statically linked version of xmlextras in 1.5.0.4. Is it really (still) necessary for Lightning to come with an own xmlextras? Looking over calendar/lightning/Makefile.in, I am asking myself whether we can run into similar problems with storage and webdav. Opinions?

Hi 
Tried your workaround and it did not seem to work for me. I still have the same problem - cannot get RSS feeds messages. Also the status bar says Checking RSS items  and the progress bar keeps flashing.

Note that this charm depends on Bug 325398 that is filed long ago for that work.

The problem seems to come back

I assume you don't use Thunderbird 1.5 and Lightning 0.1 anymore. Please report the exact version and build id of Thunderbird, Lightning you are using and the OS. In addition I assume that you don't see the issue fixed in 2006 but a new issue due to the different error.

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

According to the error message you might see Thunderbird Bug 369416, Bug 346736, Bug 301605 or Bug 322793.

Ropp, please report the details Stefan mentioned in comment#2, or we'll have to set this bug back to RESOLVED FIXED. Consider to file a new bug, and add a reference to your comment there, because re-opening bugs fixed years ago isn't desired.

Setting back to RESOLVED FIXED (see comment#14).
