Has anyone out there tried
SimplyHeadlines, described on eHub as "Headlines and abstract of any RSS feed delivered to your email in one single daily digest. Bloggers can also let publishers create their own eNewspapers."
Tool or service? I like Thunderbird version 1.5. The news items come in looking similar to e-mails (in their own folders), and I can choose wither to load the web page or display the RSS summary. (Some sites provide only short, lame summaries.)

I tried a variety but I think Google Reader is the best. It is lightweight and easy to use. I really love the fact that it marks articles as read as you scroll down the frame.
The only downside is that it is not desktop-based so you can't read off-line. But I'd rather have that than clutter my PC.
