I use r2e to feed all RSS feeds into my mail reading routine, most
of which happens while I am offline. Unfortunately, some important
sites (most notably newspapers) only provide kicker paragraphs in
the feed and require you to visit the URL to get the whole story.
Even though I have tried to convince them to do otherwise, they are
not interested (since they'd lose advertising revenue).S
This means that for certain stories, I have to keep them around and
visit them later when I am back online, and that can create quite
a backlog.

If r2e would allow me to tag feeds such that it simply scrapes the
URL for each feed and attach the entire HTML page to the individual
mails it generates, the problem would be solved. Do you see this as
a possible feature enhancement?
