Squeet - RSS Feed via Email Reader

Squeet delivers news items from RSS and Atom feeds to your email Inbox, integrating them nicely with other incoming "stuff" and exposing them to all the power of your email program while providing convenient subscription management itself. Unfortunately, Squeet emails themselves are not all that appealing. More flexible delivery schedules would be great, too.
Unfortunately, Squeet is no longer available.

I may read many different newspapers, but they all naturally and amicably queue up in a large pile — one large pile. One Inbox is enough, and if you already have an email Inbox, why add another, more clumsy Inbox for RSS feeds? You don't have to.

Squeet will deliver news headlines and blog posts — podcasts and other feeds with enclosures are supported in a rudimentary manner as links — to your email Inbox. There, you can apply all the filtering and labeling and sorting and searching your email program can muster.

Squeet can either deliver news almost instantaneously as individual emails or intelligently and clutter-proof as a digest on your schedule. Weekly and daily delivery times are possible, but more flexibility — delivering twice a day or every dozen new items, for example — would be nice.

Speaking of nicety and neatness, the plain text version of Squeet emails beats the HTML message in these respects. While richer and preferred in theory, news items turned rich emails by Squeet could look at bit crisper.

It's also a pity that the otherwise excellent online subscription management of Squeet does not allow collecting feeds into groups, which could be delivered as a digest or put on hold in one go, for example. A digest of all or a group's news delivered several times a day might be a great addition to a great service, too.
