Thunderbird email client has RSS built it.  In fact, when creating a new 
account the first thing is to tell it whether it is an email, movemail, 
rss/blog or news group account.

I don't use it, but it should work basically the same as email and news 
groups.  You can probably get a choice of either a short message with a 
link to the full message, or a full message.  Kinda like the difference 
between downloading only headers or the full message in news groups, 
except that there is more info in the RSS short version.
