Hi Jane. Well I made an automator work flow that does what you
want, but I don't think it's very practical. Here are the actions I
used.
New Text Edit Document.
Get feeds from mail, with options set to only return feeds with
unread articles.
Filter articles, with options set to only return unread articles.
Get permalinks of articles.
Get text from web page.
Set contents of text edit document, with options set to append text.
I'm not sure if you've played with automator or not. If not, the
above probably didn't make a lot of sense. But at any rate, what
you get is an insanely large text file with the contents of every
web page that contained an unread article. This would be quite
difficult to read through, and it would probably be much easier to
just open up safari on the articles you were interested in.

There is an automator action that will get rss articles and put
them in to a text format. I'd imagine you could then put that
text in to a text edit document.

OK, now I am subscribed to all of these RSS feeds--and I thought
it would be fairly simple, that the whole story would appear in
my inbox, but it doesn't. I get a link to the story. So what I
was wondering was if somehow a script could be made that when new
RSS feeds come in, Safari opens i the background, and the text is
put into textEdit or something for me to read later.
Possible? If so, how? :)
