If you'd like to move your collection of RSS feeds into 10.5's Mail, here's how:

  1. Export an OPML file from your favorite feed reader (Google Reader for me)
  2. Run the following command in Terminal: perl -lne 'print $1 if /"(http.*?)"/' google-reader-subscriptions.xml | pbcopy
  3. Open Mail
  4. Go to File » Add RSS Feeds...
  5. Choose the Specify a custom feed URL radio button
  6. Click in the entry box and hit Command-V to paste the feed URLs
  7. Click the Add button
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one.]
