    Emailing the RSS feed

    I choose your product because it had email capability. I was looking for a way to forward an RSS feed of a deal of the day to my cell phone.  So I setup the email service and it is emailing the RSS feed to my phone  Problem is you are limited with cell phone TXT messages and I would like a way to 1)  Reduce what's sent (remove the feedbeast comments and the ability to trim the message) and 2) Be able to send some of the text from the feed, currently it's only sending the title and maybe first line of the description.  Also 3) I only want to send some RSS feeds to my cell phone, can I control which feeds email?

    Thanks for considering it.

    Cell phone SMS messaging is planned for an upcoming version, so I will definitely be giving it some thought as to what this might entail and the length of messages sent. If you have any additional ideas or requests I will be glad to receive them.

    As for currently, there's no way to change what is sent, but you can choose which feeds are included in email forwarding or digests. A digest would be too much for a cell phone to handle I think so you'd be better off with the forwarding option, which is on a feed-by-feed basis and disabled by default (see the Feed menu).

    Could you elaborate on point 2? What additional information would you like included? It's already including the content of the article as determined by the feed.

    Thanks for your interest,

    Logan
