For the few web forums I have to read, I subscribe to their RSS feed, |
| 13 |
which I read and convert into mail (!) with tuxfeeder [1], in a nightly |
| 14 |
cronjob. True, some forum messages can only be meaningfully read in a |
| 15 |
browser; but it's easy enough to follow the link from the mail. |

I also convert newsgroup messages (from eternal-september) into mail, |
| 18 |
with the help of suck [2] and another cronjob. |
