This is why I had interest in thunderbird email client because it says it can
put RSS feeds into an email type version and it has another means of allowing
you to access RSS. It might be worth checking into. I just couldn't seem to
make it work with my hotmail account because of the fact I couldn't get the
"middle man" program to operate. If you have an email account through some
other server aside from hotmail, though, you shouldn't need to bother with any
middle man program.
