When selecting multiple e-mail messages, you can right-click them and click Forward as Attachments to forward them all as attachments to a single message. When selecting multiple RSS articles, the option still appears, but opens a new compose window for each article with a link to the article.
Suggestion: when selecting multiple RSS articles, change the context menu item to Forward Multiple and make all the links appear in the body of a single message.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select multiple RSS articles.
2. Right-click one of them.
3. Click Forward as Attachments.
Actual Results:
Multiple compose windows appear, each containing a link to one of the selected articles.
Expected Results:
A single compose window should appear, with all the articles in it.

These are the RSS feeds I am currently subscribed to in Thunderbird. This bug occurs with all of them except for Simply Recipes. Also note that Simply Recipes is normally forwarded inline, the others are forwarded as links. (Why?)

Good question. The Simply Recipes feed items are being treated like regular email messages, but the other feeds I'm subscribed to are always forwarded (using either Inline or As Attachment) as if the page were in a browser and Send Link was used to create the message.
Many (most?) feeds are stored in the item with an <iframe> used to load the remote page into the message. That is, the message's body is
<body><iframe [...]>[alternate HTML representation]</iframe></body>
The items for the Simply Recipes feed are constructed like a more typical HTML message:
<body>
<p><a href=[...]><img [...] />
</a><br /><em>From the recipe archive</em></p>
<p>Most pecan recipes [...]</p>
</body>
But I subscribe to another feed that also constructs items without using the <iframe>, but like this:
<body><center><a [...]><img [...] /></a></center><br /></body>
and when forwarded, these items behave like most of the others do: the way a Send Page would be performed, with the 'Website' (Content-Base) header passed as a link.
The other difference I see is that the Simply Recipe Content-Base is a .PHP rather than .HTML.
Reproduced with TB 1.5.0.8, 2b1-1122, 3a1-1123, Win2K.

Perhaps it has to do with the Message-Id header. I see the problem that you described with RSS messages that have a Message-Id that starts with "<http:", but I don't see this problem with MozillaZine RSS messages that have it start with "<tag:".
See bug 258278 for more information. That bug describes that RSS messages are recognized by a Message-Id that starts with either "http:" or "https:", even if they have been moved to a regular email folder.

You may be right about that. Bug 365015 was just filed about a similar problem with items from a mozillazine.org feed (with additional symptoms that also apply to the Simply Recipe feed), and that feed also shows up with a "tag:" prefix in the ID field.

Hi Brian,
Do you still see this behavior? I only get one compose window with all the selected rss messages as attachments when forwarding multiple RSS messages from one of my feeds of one of the fees you addes to this bug...
Onno
multiple selected feed messages will attach multiple summary (not web page) files on Forward as Attachment, in one compose window.
Forward Inline will open multiple compose windows, with either the summary (if in summary mode) or link (if in web page mode) inline.
