Not advertising for DHH, but Hey made in interesting design choice for newsletter emails, that likely works for #RSS readers as well: https://www.hey.com/features/the-feed/

HEY

A love letter to newsletters

Newsletters are great, but they can get in the way of more important emails. HEY has a separate, dedicated space where they can shine called The Feed. The Feed shows all of your newsletters — already open — with the newest at the top. Just scroll to read. It’s like a Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn feed, but for email.
