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 [email protected] [email protected] | formail -s sendmail -ti

To change `From` header, use

$ curl ... | rss2mail -f [email protected]

To post to some `rss.test` newsgroup:

$ curl https://www.joelonsoftware.com/feed/ | rss2mail --rnews rss.test | sudo -u news rnews -N
