That's one of my problems with Thunderbid, anything that isn't a HTML page just has loads of problems with it. In fact, most of the readers recommended above by other people suffer from the same problems, it kind of sucks.
The idea is to imitate the experience of something like Feedly, an RSS feed you can access from anywhere on any device, recommendations, all that... Which is overkill if all you want is just a simple program that queries for new posts every x hours.
