How to use Windows Live Messenger as a RSS reader?

After I clicked the RSS button in a blog, a window titled Select your RSS
reader is displayed. It contains these:

- +My Yahoo
- +Windows Live
- Let browser handle the subscription.
- Create an RSS feed.

I clicked the +Windows Live and a webpage
(http://my.live.com/?addFeed=...rss) which has the question Add this feed to
my.live.com? is displayed. I clicked Add in that webpage. What does all
these mean and how I can get the feed now?

Re: How to use Windows Live Messenger as a RSS reader?

Greetings,

Messenger has no RSS integration at this time. Any feeds you add to my.live.com will only
appear on the front page of http://my.live.com.

Windows Live Mail and Internet Explorer both have RSS support but they won't integrate with
the my.live.com pages.

Hi Jonathan,

Please ignore this question. I was thinking that Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live Mail are the same thing.
