Usage

Read Spolsky's musings in mutt:

$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail > 1.mbox
$ mutt -f 1.mbox

mutt

This will create html emails! You have no control around this--if rss2mail detects plain text in feed articles then it produces text/plain output.

To convert & send, install procmail pkg that contains formail util:

$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail bob@example.com alice@example.net | formail -s sendmail -it

To change From header, use

$ curl ... | rss2mail -f me@example.com

To post to some rss.test newsgroup:

$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail --rnews rss.test | sudo -u news rnews -N
