I see.
I can't tell for RRSyl plugin because I don't know how it works nor what
it supports/features but many RSS readers can be configured in that
regard (when/what to delete/archive), but what I do with RSS feeds is
just keeping them for a period of time (which varies depending on the
number of the updates a channel provides) and then they are automatically
replaced by new content, which is the default approach, I guess. I don't
store them in the disk unless Liferea (my rss reader) is doing it to keep
its own caching.

Fair decision.
And now you tell, I was subscribed by e-mail to some techie magazines
written in Spanish ("Kriptopolis", "RED"...) but I quitted because their
editoral line was somehow changed as times goes on and well, I didn't
like much the new one. I suppose the argument will sound you fairly
familar ;-)

I can tell you the secret but I'll have to destroy you afterwards...

Because I consider news (rss feeds) to be a "temporary" source of bits
(read and ditch) I don't want to "store" anywhere but just help to keep
me updated/informed (they also allow me to avoid browsing the newspapers
websites full of advertizing materials). Basically, I use rss feeds as a
modern incarnation of the teletype: it's fast, simple and gets to the
point.
For e-mails I have a quite different (and costly) policy, I store
messages for years and years... and years. Yup, I know, like someone
suffering from "Diogenes syndrome" but for e-mails O:-)
