Rmail – subscribe to any RSS feed by e-mail

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Dave Pollard
Reader John Tropea has pointed out a new RSS e-mail subscription service called Rmail. I’ve set it up at right to replace the dysfunctional Bloglet. When you enter your e-mail address in the box and click Subscribe, it will send you an e-mail to confirm your subscription wish, and then each hour if I have made changes it will send you an e-mail with the RSS version of the changed posts. These e-mails all allow you to unsubscribe as well, and contain a link to the original article on my home page. It seems to work fine, but there’s not a lot of instructions, so if it looks funny or doesn’t work for you, please let me know by e-mail. To add this functionality to your own blog, just cut and paste the line starting with <script on the Rmail page into your own home page template, and replace the {your feed URL goes here} with your RSS feed URL.

    Hi Dave, I personally find the RSS reader in Thunderbird a really nice and efficient system, which makes read rss feeds effortless and very similar to check your mail-box.
