Read RSS/Atom feeds in your favourite, maildir-compatible email client.
A simplified fork of Feed2Maildir, which doesn’t use config files or databases.
feedparserpython-dateutilRun the feed2maildir command. The content of the feed
should be sent into the command’s standard input; if the feed is online,
you might want to use curl or wget to fetch
it. The following options are available:
-h, --help show this help message and exit (optional)
-m <dir> maildir location
-n <name> name to use for this feed
-s strip HTML from the feeds (optional)To convert a feed, the -m and -n options
are required. Only a single feed will be processed at a time; if you
want to process multiple feeds, invoke the command inside a loop.
To prevent the same items being added over and over, each generated
maildir entry is given an extra header
X-feed2maildirsimple-hash, which stores the given feed name
and some stable identifiers from the item. Before creating a new
message, the given maildir is scanned for existing hashes, and the item
is skipped if a corresponding message already exists.
Once the process has finished, no further work will be performed. If
you want to fetch updates at regular intervals, run the command via a
system like cron.
