Currently, the RSS parser while parsing RSS2 feeds gets the item image/thumbnail by finding the first <img> element in the <content> (reference in RssHelper.kt), but some sites may already provide the thumbnail in an <enclosure> element inside the item.

For reference, an <enclosure> element can be like this:
