Can Entourage be configured to read RSS and Atom? Of should I do this
through my browser (Mozilla)? Or should I use NetNewsWire? I'm totally
confused.

No, Entourage can't read RSS or Atom. Yes, you should use another program;
which one you use is up to you. I personally have two favourites: the first
one is Apple's Safari (part of Mac OS X Tiger), which is quite nice. The
other one is NetNewsWire, which is more customisable than Safari and has
more advanced features, such as smart folders and the ability to flag
entries. There's also a free NetNewsWire Lite, which you should give a try,
in case you haven't done so already. I hope this helped clear up your
confusion!

Michael,

That helped, thanks. I use Mozilla because it is much faster than Safari.
However I'd like to integrate my RSS into either the browser or my email
program, so I don't have to keep looking at different programs...

I've downloaded the TRIAL version of NetNewsWire but I'm wondering if that
is the same as the LITE version?

If you really want to integrate your RSS feeds into your e-mail program, you
should have a look at Thunderbird
<http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/>, the e-mail program that
complements Firefox. Not only can you use it for your e-mails, but also for
RSS feeds AND newsgroups like this one.

NetNewsWire Lite is not the same thing as the trial version of NetNewsWire.
NetNewsWire has more functions, and you'll have to pay to use it once the
trial period is over. The Lite version, on the other hand, is free and will
probably meet your needs unless you're a hardcore RSS user. Have a look at
Ranchero Software's comparison chart
<http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/featureschart.php> to find out which
version of the program you need.
