RSS to Email wrapup

Last month I posted about and got some really good feedback and suggestions on an RSS to email solution.  I just wanted to wrap that up here for those of you who don't get the comments.  The two best solutions seem to be RSSFwd and Rmail, both of which, with a minor amount of HTML coding, allow one to embed a single box on one's blog where the user can enter an email address and forever more receive every post as an email.  Also improved since our initial peek is Bot a blog, which now offers snippits of the post in the email instead of simply a link letting you know some content had changed.

With Rmail you'll get an email with the updated post within an hour.  I believe RSSFwd does a batch job so there's a longer delay.  I plan to implement an Rmail subscription link for this blog as soon as I get around to it :-)
