This hint will allow you to read your emails in an RSS/news reader like NetNewsWire. First you need to create a rule in Mail and set it to forward filtered messages to yourfeed@mailbucket.org (Mailbucket.org). Next, open your feed reader and subscribe to feed: http://mailbucket.org/yourfeed.xml (where yourfeed can be anything you choose, but must be unique and the same as what you set in your Mail rule). I recommend checking on the final feed URL before beginning -- just to make sure the name you've chosen isn't already used by someone.
Once set up, you can keep on top of your emails by IM using FeedCrier or read your emails in a newspaper-like interface using FeedJournal.

The service is probably most useful to those who lurk on high-traffic mailing lists, but it could also be used as a rudimentary bridge between applications, with email as the transfer protocol.Keep in mind that there's no security here. If someone can guess the URL for your feed, they can read your mail! For that reason, I'd personally not use this hint for anything other than mailing list traffic. I would also recommend coming up with the most-obscure URL you can, just to provide some minor level of security.]
