It seems to me to be far more work to get an email than to use an RSS  
reader.

On MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger), put the RSS feed on your bookmarks bar, and  
a little number will pop up when there are changes. Other RSS readers  
can be configured to put a number badge on its Dock icon. Compared to  
discovering you have email, switching to Mail, selecting the message,  
and reading it, either of these are MUCH simpler!
