Ugh... I hate using an RSS reader. The whole reason I use RSS is so that I can passively get content. I don't want to go to a website just to look at your content, or see if there is any.
Fine, I solve that problem by using some kind of RSS to e-mail gateway. Short of running my own, I've used the one on a mail service that doesn't come to mind at the moment. I used what is now SendMeRSS. I've used Google Reader.
I had settled on RSSFWD, but dammit, they've tanked or something. What's worse, I can't unsubscribe anything, because the management interface is borked. I'd *pay* to get a real RSS to e-mail service that isn't all cluttered up with advertisements (other than those in the feeds, obviously... though stripping those out would be cool too...). I'm back on Bloglines, and I'm actually thinking about going back to Google Reader.
So, I've got a filter in my mail that takes my RSS mail from RSSFWD and puts it in a folder. I'd love to delete that folder and rule, but I can't stop the onslaught of messages. I guess I could modify the rule to just delete the messages outright, but I really just want to wait and see what happens. I've been waiting a few weeks though, and the trend isn't encouraging.

I had this same issue with RSSFWD, but it looks like they have fixed things.
I had to create a new account and "import" the feeds from my old acct, but they are all working again.
So by getting RSS as e-mail, you have one less window to open...it seems like email has become the new rss reader, and PM's and Comment Notifications are the new email.
