Yes, and if RSS were as important as email then browser based feed readers would be just as evil and wrong as webmail.
That doesn't make sense, given that the context of an rss feed is that it is a way of aggregating and displaying (generally) content from the web so having an rss feed reader that is accessed from a web browser is perfectly sensible.
As email isn't part of the web, as it's erm, well email. So using the web to read email is /slightly/ less sane but does make sense in that you don't have to configure an email client locally each time you want to read email so it still kinda works (but not as nicely as having a properly configured email client).
