RSS reader with offline capability

Submitted by timmy on July 19, 2007 - 7:27am

I have searched and found some portable RSS readers, RSSOwlPortable is one of them.
However, I would like to get one with capability for offline reading of RSS articles with pictures included in the article. Many feeds include pictures, and in all RSS reader I have tried, the article text is available offline, but not the pictures and other embedded files.

Would be good if that could be done, so that I can read RSS feeds from my USB stick when sitting offline.

Any hints?

POV-Ray?

The Persistence of Vision Raytracer is a high-quality, totally free tool for creating stunning three-dimensional graphics.

As far as i can tell this is open-source, and i am not to sure if it is actually possible to make this portable because i don't know that much about programming or porting...
