Not everyone knows how to use RSS and Atom feeds to subscribe to websites. As an alternative to XML, I’ve found RSSFwd and RMail that allow you to subscribe to a site and receive its feed via your email.

I’ve been using both RSSFwd and Rmail, and they seem to work fine; RSSFwd has been more consistent in my experience. To allows users to subscribe to your site via email, see these RSSFwd instructions or Rmail instructions.

Before you try to set that up on your site, make sure to read the Auto RSS feed icon in Firefox entry for instructions on automating access to your RSS feed. It works just fine for Opera and probably other browsers too.

Would be really nice to see this feature built into Textpattern, or perhaps with programming abilities could integrate these into a plugin.. Meanwhile, this seems to work alright.
