Description
The content-pane is empty, but the message source looks pretty ok, so I don't know if Thunderbird or Trac is to blame. Other RSS feeds seem to work fine though.

I don't see anything visible in the panel either.
But here's what I get when viewing the source of the article in Thunderbird (above comment taken as an example):

It could be that Thunderbird doesn't work well with <iframe>'s in RSS feeds? That's the only difference I could find between the trac RSS feed and those that work.

I don't know where this <iframe id ="_mailrssiframe" > is coming from, isn't it added by Thunderbird itself?

There's no <iframe> in OpenGL.org's RSS viewed in Thunderbird.
The trac timeline works with RSSpopper, however I can't see the source there.

That OpenGL.org feed is an Atom feed, we're producing a RSS 2.0 feed.
I've tried a few random RSS 2.0 feeds, and they all have the same or similar display problems due to this <iframe> added by Thunderbird, try e.g. http://feeds.pcworld.com/pcworld/latestnews

I googled to this ticket after losing the website view of Trac changesets from a timeline rss. It turned out I had switched the default View from "Original Html" to "Simple HTML". To change this: select a message, View menu, Message Body As, Original HTML.
Hope this helps someone else.
