By not simple I mean you don’t just run an app. You need to download Python scripts and configure them by editing a text file. Then you run them on a schedule. The scripts need to know your SMTP server and/or need to be able to call sendmail to send you the email. The newest versions also know how to write directly into an IMAP mailbox, which avoids a lot of the problems of using SMTP or sendmail, and means you can store news into a folder.
It is indeed very slick, because you get all your RSS in the same way you get your email. I have a couple of folders set up that RSS gets filtered into, and if I want to share I can do so from wherever I am by forwarding the article with headers in tact (you’ll have seen me do this on this list from time to time). Both iOS and Mac Mail can handle the messages just fine, and of course I can delete and mark read and do all the things I can do with email. If there was a downside, I’d say it’s that Mac Mail isn’t very nice at handling HTML email. It should be more like iOS, which works beautifully with it. Together with the activities bug in El Cap, this setup is horrible when you have, as I do, an activity for the web. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
