Recently, you might have noticed your Thunderbird doesn't show the summary for the feed you have subscribed. When you open the feed in a new tab or window the webpage for the feed appears without any issues and by changing the "Feed message body as" option to different values or by changing the "rss.show.summary" or "rss.show.content-base" keys in the config editor, you might probably succeed in getting the webpage view in the message plane. But the short cute summary that used to show for the feeds is totally missing. Yes, I had the same issue few hours back. I browsed around different forums and changed around a dozen settings. But nothing worked. Finally I figured out that it was something related to the theme that I was using for my email client.
Only a few might face this issue. Especially when you were using a different theme rather than the default theme that comes with the latest Thunderbird. So this is basically some rendering issue with the theme that needs to be fixed for the latest version of the program. So if you face this issue just restore the theme to the default one and you will then notice the summary getting displayed properly for the feeds you had subscribed.
Hence the solution.
Change the theme to the default theme of Thunderbird
and then the summary will be shown.
Yes, I understand. What if you want to change the theme? Drop a request to the developer of that theme to look into that issue.
If you got any questions or better solution please do not hesitate to mention it in the comments.
