I would very much like it if my desktop news aggregator (and I'm willing to switch from Newzcrawler if someone else can support this) would store my "read" settings on the internet somewhere so that I could keep my various machines in sync. I find it very hard to keep track of what I've read and what I haven't (across something like 400 feeds that I subscribe to) when I go to a new machine. I have a few "primary-ish" machines that I use and I just can't get into the web based aggregators for some reason...help!

...sounds like a job for BW!
In the meantime, I'll have to look around for the name of the service, but a few months ago I used a service that would pull RSS feeds and send them to you as e-mail. Using IMAP (which I did when I used the service), you could do what you're suggesting. -- Bret Reply

Try Aaron Swartz's rss2email script, an IMAP server and Postfix. That's what I'm working on...
'course, rss2email doesn't like bringing across HTML in posts. I'm thinking of doing some Python hacking to get 'er working Reply

Brent Simmons, Dare Obasanjo, and a few others have been putting together a spec. Take a look at:

I sync my feeddemon (by Nick Bradbury) between a couple of machines. Not tough to do at all.
