There have been some small bug fixes since the previous announcement of AtoMail, so it’s time for another snapshot.

Since the script only is receiving minor tweaks and bugfixes lately, it is probably advisable to keep track of the Git development version from now on.

Shortly after the initial version and a few subsequent bugfix versions, AtoMail 0.4 is now available. This release allows you to retrieve mail from various different sources: stdin, local mailboxes (in different formats), POP3 (+SSL), IMAP4(+SSL), and NNTP usenet newsgroups.

AtoMail is a Python script that converts mail into an RSS feed. This is for example useful for tracking announcement mailinglists in your favorite RSS reader, if no classic RSS feed is available.

This script is aimed at people who do not want to make use of services such as mail2rss.org (e.g. in order to have more control, for more reliability, privacy, …), or do not have the resources to set up a service such as mail2rss.
