An email I sent to Ranchero Software regarding NetNewsWire. If you have a Mac, it is one piece of software you need. I am always a bit afraid to send in feature requests, because in the past I have sent off a few only to later discover that the feature already existed... Bad usability I guess :)

I love NetNewsWire and think it is a killer news reader. In an extremely short time it has become one of the most used applications on my Mac.
I have a feature enhancement request. Currently I subscribe to a lot of different feeds. Some of the feeds are much more important than others. I think it would help to be able to identify feeds that you don't want to include in the count on the dock icon. Perhaps "include feed in Dock notification" can be added as an option to the Get Info dialog for each feed?
For example... I have a lot of feeds I subscribe to that I want to be notified of right away when something is new, but also have a bunch of feeds that I don't really care about -- I just look at them if I have some free time. Right now my Dock icon says "42" new posts, but I don't really care about any of them. I have to go to the different feeds and "Mark All As Read" -- even though I haven't read them...
Hope this makes sense!
