Full featured feed reader?


Hi,
I'd like to be advised on the best full featured feed reader available, as I'm trying to do some research work on news from several newspapers. I'd specifically like to have a feed reader which is able to download the entire story - with pictures if any - from the website, not just the link and the abstract. Also, it must be able to archive huge loads of news. akregator seems kinda basic.
Thanks!

I may be wrong, but mozilla (not mozilla-firefox) and thunderbird can do it.

Hello,

Yes, Firefox can view RSS. You just need to install the extension for that.

RSSOwl has an internal browser also, I think.

thunder won't download the entire news page, just the links to it. It means that some old pages may be broken by the time I try to open it. I can't work like that, I need to download the entire page at checking/updating time, not only when opening.
Plus, I need the full news archive so I can run my scripts and calculate some statistics about the news, which is what this is all about.
I'll give mozilla a try, though.
