Feed Mail
Since converting to linux I have been rethinking how I work. Feeds take up most of my time and for the past four months I have been hunting for the answer. It wasn’t until after setting up my own email server when I realized feeds are nothing more then a mailing list.
Solution: Write a script to pull new entries from feeds, parse the content, generate a multipart html/text email from the entry html and the parsed content.
Fetchmail then pulls my email into my mail spool allowing dovecot to deliver messages to my IMAP data store, filtering with Procmail.
Instantly I can view my feeds from any IMAP client from mutt to the iPhone. IMAP clients capable of displaying HTML content show the entry, otherwise the plain text is shown.
Entry tags, flags, triggers and the like all centralized with the power of IMAP.
What’s in your wallet.
