No, that's incorrect, we actually remember deleted messages (articles, items,
whatever you prefer to call them), based on their title, ID and date published.
On each refresh, item which matches all three is ignored completely. This
information is kept in a file called ".deleted" in each feed's folder inside
~/.claws-mail/RSSyl.

The problem is that RSS format is so vaguely defined that almost anything is
allowed and almost nothing is mandatory, so naturally while some sites have
well-behaved feeds, others generate all kinds of ugly (yet still allowed by the
format specification) feeds, where IDs are not always unique, publication date
gets updated, titles change, etc...

In this particular case, however, I suspect something wrong with how Windows 10
handles the ".deleted" files, because the xkcd.com feed seems well-behaved in
this regard on Linux - deleted items stay deleted after a refresh.

I will find the time to take a look at it in next few days, I hope.
