An adaptation of rss2email that uses IMAP directly.
Well, with the shipping CSS in config.py, it looks like this:
Well, it works fine with the Gmail app on both Android and iOS, as well as the native IMAP clients:
As long as you sync, all the text will be available off-line (images are cached at the whim of the MUA).
The Gmail app ignores CSS and may have weird behaviors with long bits of text, though.
- E-mail is injected directly via IMAP (so no delays or hassles with spam filters)
- Feeds can be grouped into IMAP folders -- no inbox clutter!
- Generates E-mail headers for threading, so a post that references another post (or that includes the same link) will show up as a thread on decent MUAs. Also, posts from the same feed will be part of the same thread)
- Can (optionally) include images inline (as
data:URIs for now -- which only works properly on iOS/Mac -- soon as MIME attachments) - Can (optionally) remove read (but not flagged) items automatically
- Test nested folders (am only using single folders, not a nested hierarchy, so this might break)
- Automatic message categorization using Bayesian filtering and NLTK
- Better reference tracking to identify 'hot' items
- Figure out a nice way to do favicons (X-Face is obsolete, and so is X-Image-URL)
- Refactor this as a multi-threaded app with a SQLite feed store
Be aware that this works and is easy to hack, but uses old Python idioms and could do with some refactoring (PEP-8 zealots are sure to cringe as they read through the code).
