Hi Cara, Darcy, Hank and Others

There was a discussion about exporting RSS feeds from Apple Mail in
Mac OS X Hints, but most of it seems Leopard specific, so I can't check
this out myself.  However, the simplest way to get a list of RSS feeds
seemed to be to open terminal and use the pubsub command. For 
example:

pubsub --client com.apple.mail list

should produce a list of feeds giving the title, URL, and refresh interval.
To just get a list of the URL feeds:

pubsub --client com.apple.mail list | cut -f3 | sed -ne '3,$p'

If you want to put the output of this command in a file, you would have
to direct it into a file by adding to the end of the command.  For example,
to store the output into a file named "mylist" (without the quotes), use:

pubsub --client com.apple.mail list | cut -f3 | sed -ne '3,$p' > mylist

Sorry I can't check this under Tiger.  The Mac OS X Hints page is:

(10.5: Export Mail.app's RSS feed URLs in Terminal)

There should be a man page for pubsub in Leopard, but here's the 
web page description for the pubsub command:

Cheers,
