✨ CLAWS-MAIL-FEEDS-READER ✨

okay bestie, so we're reading the claws-mail-feeds-reader(7) page from the Claws Mail manual and honestly? it's giving cozy. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

claws-mail-feeds-reader — read feeds (RSS/Atom) like mail

like. literally. feeds in your inbox. the crossover event of the century 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so this manual page is a lil brief rundown of claws-mail-feeds-reader, ok? not a whole saga, just the essentials.

real talk tho: this manpage was written for the Debian™ distribution specifically, because the original program just… doesn't have a manual page. not me filling in the gaps 😭 iconic behavior tbh.

claws-mail-feeds-reader is a plugin (a loadable module, iykyk) for the Claws Mail mailer. what does it do? it lets the user subscribe to feeds and read them like they were regular mail messages. RSS and Atom, right there in your mail client, no cap 👑

and it also integrates nicely with HTML plugins, which lets you browse feeds' sources online. slay. 🌈

🎀 USAGE 🎀

before you can use a plugin, you have to tell Claws Mail to load it on startup. yes bestie, it's not automatic, you gotta do the thing ✨

here's the whole vibe:

  • go to the “Configuration” menu on the main window toolbar
  • open the “Plugins...” dialog
  • click the “Load plugin...” button
  • select the plugin file, named rssyl.so
  • press the “Open” button

and that's it. that's the quest. main character energy only 💅

🫶 pro tip from the manpage itself: the plugin file is named exactly rssyl.so — don't go hunting for some other name, that's the one.
