Hi

I have to admit I never needed to use RSS, but now the number of boards to check is getting to big.

but after supersearching for RSS for hours I'm overhelmed by services which are either not at all functioning or not in a acceptable way.

Could someone please give me advice how to ...

1. get a tree view of all threads
2. get a tree view of threads I'm involved
3. get a tree view of threads I'm interested

Tree view means only the titles like in Recently Active Threads

An acceptable way to all three goals would be a kind of intelligent folding, unfolding only threads with activity since I checked and folded them all.

It must be possible to mark interesting threads, so that a filter may switch between the three views I listed above.

All of this should be possible with Thunderbird, but where do I get a feed allowing a treeview of threads?

PS: I know RAT has most of this and could be extended with JS, but waiting for the webserver wastes the server performance and my lifespan. 8 )

UPDATES:

• Some people seem confused, I'm asking about the multitude of perlmonk's RSS-feeds and which to use... extended the title
• Dec 06: As I know now there are hardly any readers supporting anything like Atom Threading Extension so this discussion is unfortunately for the birds. Thanx!
