Does not work. Tried it today, and you only get a mbox that is not a
real mbox. You can edit it by hand, inserting a blank line between the
messages, then you can run
$ cat rss2email.bad.mbox | formail -d -s procmail
That sorts out the problem, but it would be a lot better if rss2email
generated correctly ordered headers. I'll see if I can "hack it" to do
that.
Of course, if anyone already has a patch or tip, I'm all ears. :)
