    Yes that would be great! Then you wouldn't need to use any web browsers to
    get all the stories, unless you wanted to see any in-line images, but I am perfectly happy with just the text mode, keeps it super easy to read and no distracting images that might be unrelated.

    Also, with this all being in one script, there won't be any issues with duplicate articles, like I had before. If the article was in different
    'areas' in their feed, it would post from each of them.

    I'm just about ready to start posting with this new script. In my testing tonight, it generated 37 postings from today...

    I still want to add the url for each of the stories, and also add the title
    of the article to the subject of the message. Small stuff, but I want to have it look nice. :)

    I just hope they don't change the format of their website again anytime
