Re: [curn-users] separate mail message per item

Hi Brian,

At the moment I'm very very busy and certainly don't have the time to code it myself.

If you could implement it for v3.2 that would be great of course.

If not and if I find some spare time, I might try to do it myself.

Thanks for the feedback and the nice project.

Santo

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.
