Linux.com has an introduction
of rss2email. "Why would you want to receive feed updates in your
inbox rather than checking them in a feed reader? Isn't the whole point of
feed subscriptions to browse them at your leisure? For the most part, I
don't want to receive an email every time one of the feeds I subscribe to
is updated -- I have more than 200 subscriptions, so that would fill up my
inbox pretty quickly. However, there are a few select feeds I do want to
monitor more closely, so I use rss2email to shoot me an email when those
are updated."

I wonder from the quote if linux.com is familiar with procmail? That's the whole point of rss2email really; of letting us leverage the whole enormous body of email management tools to deal with what is, for some of us, an ever mushrooming set of rss feeds.
About the only thing that I miss comparied to good old email in my rss feeds is threading.

procmail is an abomination. maildrop is far more sane.
