A kind reader pointed out to me that my Atom feed was incorrect. There were two
problems. First, I was specifying an incorrect URL in the feed's `<link
rel="self">` -- it was pointing to a nonexistant feed.xml file. Second, I was
omitting a `<link>` tag from the entries entirely.

Thunderbird didn't like this. With no `<link>` for an entry, it would show the
feed's `<link>` in it's UI. And that link left users at a 404 page.

I pushed a fix this morning. You might have to refresh or resubscribe to pick up
the changes.
