Integrate RSS with Outlook 2007

Although not comprehensive, there is a nice RSS reader integrated in Outlook 2007, and you can enable your users to add feeds to it by simply publishing the link to your rss feed as a link with 'outlookfeed' instead of 'http' like this:

outlookfeed://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/andrewwhitten/rss.aspx

It doesn't support many of the tags, but here are the basics:

  • <Title>               - Name of the post
  • <Description>    - The main body of the post, can be HTML
  • <Author>           - Who wrote this
  • <PubDate>        - When post was published
