Add thunderbird to rss applications

[Kevin Fenzi]

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729505
It would be nice if thunderbird was a recognized rss feed reading application.

The problem can actually broken down to multiple aspects:

As described in the report, even if Thunderbird is added manually, it won't work. That I fixed by using feed:// URIs instead of http:// - a silly formalism, Liferea treats both the same.

Thunderbird has no News category in it, that's why it doesn't show up. That's a bug in Thunderbird in my opinion and should be reported to Mozilla.

Midori doesn't check the system-wide news aggregator. That'd be a separate feature request (and arguably a bug). I would appreciate you filing this with a suggestion on what you would expect it to work like.

I misclicked "fix released" for this and don't have permission to set it back to "fix committed". Sorry.

[Kevin Fenzi (kevin-launchpad)]

Yeah, I don't guess there is a system-wide news aggegator setting anywhere anyhow.

I'm fine with the fix commited. ;)

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

Yes there is, that was the point of my suggestion. I filed it as bug 847075 now.
