[Nmh-workers] Incorporating RSS and Atom feeds
I have incorporated RSS and Atom feeds as MH messages so that I may read the feeds with nmh. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fh https://thomaslevine.com/scm/fh/artifact/4f0dd5f8873a8d17 Has someone else already written a better version of this? My implementation so far has only some of the features that I want. ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

I'm pretty happy with rss2email. Apart some (pkgsrc) LOCALPATCHES[0]
all the works is done by an AWK script (and `rsssm' calls it in order to
ignore all possible - and irrelevant - sendmail flags passed by
rss2email):
% cat rsssm
#!/bin/sh
rsssm-plumber
% cat rsssm-plumber
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
/^To:/ {
if (!folder) {
to = $2
sub(/@.*/, "", to)
folder = to
storer = "MH=~/.mh_rss_profile /usr/pkg/libexec/nmh/rcvstore +"
folder
}
}
{
if (!storer) {
lines = (lines) ? lines "\n" $0 : $0
} else {
if (lines) {
print lines "\n" $0 | storer
lines = ""
} else {
print $0 | storer
}
}
}
END {
close(storer)
}
...then I just set in ~/.config/rss2email.cfg
email-protocol = sendmail
sendmail = /home/leot/bin/rsssm
...and adjust every feed entry as follows:
[feed.example]
url = http://www.example.org/feed.rss
to = example@rss2email.invalid
In that way `rsssm-plumber' will just process the `To:' header and
then store the feed^Wmails accordingly in the `+example' folder.

I get torn about the idea of writing an external tool to interface with things like that, or just making the backend talk to different stores. I see the advantages and disadvantges of each. In terms of technical challenges, I think they are roughly equivalent; you need to keep track of the same things. nmh needs some serious rototilling to create an API that can handle different backend stores ... sigh.

Hi Thomas, Like Leonardo, I'm happy with rss2email(1). With the death of Aaron Swartz, its maintainership has bounced around a little and last I looked it had atrophied after someone converted its data store to shiny JSON format from Python's nippy pickle, with a tedious slowdown in performance. But it does. Given you seem to like Python, you might want to take it on. :-) https://github.com/wking/rss2email/issues/93 -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

However, I still sought additional features. I just wrote something very similar to rss2email, and I fortunately managed to come up with a different name. I didn't manage to subscribe to the rss2email mailing list, so I'll announce it here instead. https://thomaslevine.com/scm/opml2email/dir?ci=tip The main new features: * The Reply-To header is set to the address of the author of the feed. * Everything is stored in one OPML file. Aside from these, I didn't implemented only the basic features. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
