I wish more sites added images (in the <enclosure> tag preferably) to their RSS posts. I think images are the perfect middle ground between spicing up pure textbased posts and not being distracting videos on autoplay.
With my self-built reader (link in bio) I'm always delighted to see posts with photos or images attached.
I tried to use neomutt a few months ago, and found that all email is now just a mime encoded minefield. too bad, I liked the mutt workflow over having to have a browser opening and checking for stuff.
Some terminal emulators – e.g., kitty – can show images inline. I use `toot` and `tooi` to read the Fediverse in kitty, and the images are there alright.
RSS readers are immensely helpful to also interact with image (such as web comics) and video (Youtube channels) feeds.
Alas, a terminal interface is a decisively bad choice for that.

I used to read USENET news in text terminals on X11 systems, and on 3270 terminals before that. It's amusing how we're coming full circle.
Terminal seems like an odd choice for a platform to read on, considering the fixed-width characters.
