In Lion's Mail app, I can subscribe to RSS feeds and have them show up in the inbox. Can I do the same with the Mail app in iOS 5.1.1?

No, the iOS mail app does not double as an RSS reader. Fortunately, however, there are many great RSS apps in the app store, my personal favorite is Reeder (iPhone, iPad).

Pity. Thanks for the answer. – james.garriss Jun 9 '12 at 18:15
just curious, do you genuinely like using Mail.app as your RSS reader? – segiddins Jun 9 '12 at 21:19

Yep. Why run a separate app? Mail's already open. – james.garriss Jun 10 '12 at 0:48
Fair enough. I run Sparrow (both on iOS and OSX) for mail and Reeder for RSS. I like single purpose software. – segiddins Jun 10 '12 at 1:34
