The NewFilters extension by Frank Ausdilecce can do this, it's
listed somewhere on this page:

http://www.supportware.net/mozilla/

Before using it, MAKE SURE to read this thread at the mozillazine
forums:

&highlight=newfilters

It will give more info on how it works, since it doesn't follow
the standard TBird filtering interface.

Q.2 Any body know if its possible to auto forward an rss feed by
email? by setting up message rules???...can it be done with
thunderbird mail?

Once again, it might be possible to get something working with the
NewFilters extension...

groups with a single message?....i am always comming up with IT

Don't know, I use XNews myself for newsgroups.

Sorry, I don't know, never used it. Try it, if Firefox really
freezes or crashes, you can always boot it in "safe mode" and
uninstall the extension again. More info at:

Well, I think it's simply more advanced for news reading,
including thread filtering/scoring, killfiling, ... Its interface
might be a bit awkward at first, but it's never been much of a
problem for me.

Mind you, I've never used TBird for newsgroups, that's exactly why
I included the "I think" earlier on...
