How To Import OPML of RSS Feeds in Thunderbird

If you have a web-based RSS reader with many feeds already subscribed you may want to migrate the feeds into your desktop client. You can do it by exporting all subscribed feed URLs to OPML file and import it to your desktop client. The result is you have the same feeds between the web and desktop readers. I'll give an example exporting OPML from my CommaFeed account to Thunderbird. Enjoy reading RSS feeds!
