Newsletter to Web

Converts a newsletter to and Atom feed and static HTML files.

Usage

Get the latest release from the releases page.

Getting help

For help, use

  • newsletter-to-web help
  • newsletter-to-web help <subcommand>.

Basic usage

First, download all messages from the IMAP mail server and store them in the data/ directory:

newsletter-to-web fetch-from-imap -s <imap.example.com> -u <email@example.com> -p <password>

Then, convert them to an Atom feed, using newsletters.example.com as the base domain:

newsletter-to-web --include-html build-feed newsletters.example.org

This will put the output in the output/ directory. The Atom feed will be in output/feed.xml, together with a very simple index.html file pointing to the feed. It will also add an HTML file for every email with the HTML content.

The feed will already contain the full HTML, so it can easily be read from a feed reader.
