Santo,

That capability does not currently exist in curn. The stock email plug-in
wouldn't do the job for you; it assumes that each configured output handler
produces one file containing all the RSS items.

However, it would not be horribly difficult to write a custom output
handler that could do what you want. It *would* require some code, either
in Java or in a scripting language like Jython or JRuby.

Are you comfortable writing your own output handler? If so, why not give it
a shot? There's plenty of documentation in the User's Guide. If not, I'm
currently working on version 3.2; I might be able to slip something like
that in, though I can't guarantee it's going to happen in the next week.
