I used to have two places to check for all of that semi-automated "I'd like to read this but it isn't urgent" material: my email inbox (mailing lists, newsletters, etc) and my RSS reader.
The fix -- a quick'n'dirty script that moves all those emails over to RSS: http://github.com/danshoutis/mail-to-rss http://github.com/danshoutis/mail-to-rss
Caveat: if you're using Google Reader, you need to put the output RSS+HTML into a non-password-protected place, which means someone who can guess the URL can read your stuff. (For maximum convenience, I'm just dumping it into the public folder of my dropbox account.)
It certainly needs polishing, but not so much that I've felt the need to work on it recently. :)
- mike-cardwell 16y agoSeems more sensible to me to filter mailing list mail into its own mail folder than filtering it into an rss feed. At least when it's in a mail folder you can reply to it without messing about...
- crux_ 16y agoIt does get filtered into its own folder; it's just that I prefer to read that folder's contents in Google Reader, along with all my other "feed" stuff, in one shot. This is more appropriate if you mostly lurk on mailing lists; if there was a list I was highly active on, I'd probably treat it differently.
