function add_featured_image_url($output) {
    global $post;
    if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
        $output = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ) ) . ' ' . $output;
    }
    return $output;
}

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'add_featured_image_url');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'add_featured_image_url');

I've added this to my templates functions.php file, but when i read the feed i cannot see it. Do i need to do anything else to it? – dotty Sep 7 '10 at 14:31
Oh, a follow up. I'm using php's SimpleXmlElement() and reading the file through that. Will that make a difference? – dotty Sep 7 '10 at 14:39
... nope reply. any ideas? – dotty Sep 9 '10 at 13:22
I missed you previous comments. There was an error in my answer, I edited it. – sorich87 Sep 9 '10 at 16:13

Sorich I think there's still an error, the code above will remove the post content and replace it with the url instead of adding it. Needs to be $output .= wp_get_att[...] instead of = – Jeremy Clarke Sep 11 '10 at 21:12
