formats.

## Setup
Nodejs 20.x
$ npm i -g rss2mail
## Usage
Read Spolsky's musings in mutt:
~~~
$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail > 1.mbox
$ mutt -f 1.mbox
~~~
This will create html emails! You have no control around this--if
rss2mail detects plain text in feed articles then it produces
text/plain output.
To convert & send, install procmail pkg that contains [formail][] util:
$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail bob@example.com alice@example.net | formail -s sendmail -ti
To change `From` header, use
$ curl ... | rss2mail -f me@example.com
To post to some `rss.test` newsgroup:
$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail --rnews rss.test | sudo -u news rnews -N
