RSS not dead, just misunderstood

Re:RSS not dead, just misunderstood by mike-cardwell on Tuesday September 14, 2010 @09:41AM (#1690481)

I use rss2email to gate my various RSS feeds into a single folder in my email account. I then read them using Thunderbird and IMAP.

I don't like the idea of a dedicated RSS reader. I'd much rather import it into an application which I already use. Email is perfect for that.

You realize Thunderbird supports feeds, right?

Yes, but I also use Mutt, and my phones email client, and I have several installations of Thunderbird on different machines. Gating to email makes much more sense.
