Looks good - if a message was omitted from the RSS feed, there are 
plenty of subscribers to notice and say something. Thunderbird 
supports RSS already, so with just a bit of comparison code in an 
extension, Thunderbird could automatically compare the messages from 
the list with the latest RSS feed (give or take a few hours to allow 
for the interval between aggregators' updating), and we wouldn't even 
have to pay attention.
