Apart from Lucidor, there seems to be yet another candidate for a (any) working rss feed reader that downloads *complete* articles for offline use
check out Mr Postman at (am trying to install it right now) http://mrpostman.sourceforge.net/index.html *** On another note (in the context of the sad availability of a software) am wondering what it would take for an ordinary user like me to be able to request someone to make a plugin / script etc to enable a regular rss feed reader to become one that downloads articles for offline use. The way i see it almost everything is in place already - the software already knows what to get and even from where and all that is required if for the process to get automated where the feed reader just downloads the article for use. / storage / archiving. Someone had made a script for liferea but that does not work -see this http://pigeond.net/blog/2009/07/03/liferea-really-offline-reading-conversion-filter-script/#comment-23973 but there are some errors (as posted on the blog) so it does not really work, so any one interested in taking this python script and making it better ?? Am not a programmer and don't even have the foggiest idea of even how to start so would be grateful if someone looks at this.
