reading rss feeds with mutt

geek Q: how to improve my RSS feeds reading experience?

A: using my mail reader as a feed aggregator.

Over time I tried many different RSS feeds aggragators, both web based and stand alone applications. There are many which are really nice, but every one I tried was lacking one feature or another. I saw that the Thunderbird mail reader has the option to handle RSS news as emails, so I decided to look for something that enabled me to the same with mutt, my mail reader of choice.

I found a really nice tool called feed2imap, which perfectly addresses my needs. It is really easy to setup and configure - the configuration file is well commented - and does it's job smoothly. Now I have all my news in dedicated mailboxes.
