We would like an **RSS reader** that stays minimized as an icon in the Windows system tray until a new RSS story is detected. When a new story is downloaded, it will popup a window with the new story in it.
The software should be written in **Visual Basic 6 (VB6). Would also consider that it be written in Delphi (win32, not .NET).**
It should also have the following features:
* It should allow entry and monitoring of multiple RSS feeds. In other words, the user can enter the URL's of as many RSS feeds as they want to monitor. They should be able to view a list of these feeds and add & delete feeds.
* The user should be able to set the frequency that each URL is checked for new stories. This may be a different frequency for each URL.
* When a window pops up to indicate a new story has arrived, it should show the name of the feed that it came from. It should offer "delete" or "save". If the user chooses save, the story should go into a list of saved stories which can be reviewed later. The user should be able to delete stories from the saved list.
* The popup window that shows the new story should be in rich text format with all associated graphics, links, etc. from the feed.
