The development version of seamonkey (www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey) will 
optionally pull content instead of abstract. I don't generally use it that way, 
but it does. Obviously it's a suite, had browser, composer, mail, etc, etc, but 
you can use just that portion of it.

The seamonkey 1.1.x series doesn't do RSS, so the rpm won't help you. You want 
2.0a3 build later than 20090115.
