Version 2.0a1 doesn't work with the RSS-Feed of Spiegel Online anymore.

http://www.spiegel.de/schlagzeilen/index.rss

I managed to make it work by deleting brief.sqlite, but after a short time it stopped again.
Also the links to the articles did not work. Brief always opens the home page.
It seems like brief uses the content of <guid>, which always points to the homepage. The link to the article is in the element <link>.

Example entry:

<item>
    <title>Destillerie-Historie: Die Archäologie des Kentucky Bourbon</title>
    <link>http://www.spiegel.de#ai=932440&amp;aitype=rss&amp;ref=rss</link>
    <category>Wissenschaft</category>
    <pubDate>Sun, 10 Nov 2013 10:08:03 +0100</pubDate>
    <guid>http://www.spiegel.de</guid>
</item>

Seems to be a problem at Spiegel Online, not a problem of brief.

I also came across a RSS-feed, in which the <link> and <guid>-elements of each entry are the same for all articles, only <pubdate> and <title> are changing. Brief seemingly never updates the content of the feed, and only shows the entries it fetched upon loading it the first time.

Is there any chance for Brief to support these cases? Is such a feed even valid?
