Well, I bet Mozilla even under Windows does the very same as Mozilla
under Linux. That does not have to do anything with the "Windows World",
besides MSIE maybe does not understand XML... ;)

Mozilla does know XML and will display it.


FYI: The Windows system knows a default Mail application, Linux systems
do not.

The URL that presents you with the XML code.

The other right... ;)


Here is what I did and it worked perfectly:

Tools / Settings / Summary Prefernces / News Feeds
  [New Feed]
    Name: up to your imagination
    URL: http://www.lockergnome.com/rss/windowsdaily.php
    [OK]
  [Apply]

The News Feed now shows up in the Summary. Have fun...
