SFEED_MBOX(1)		    General Commands Manual		 SFEED_MBOX(1)

NAME
       sfeed_mbox -- format feed data to mboxrd

SYNOPSIS
       sfeed_mbox [file	...]

DESCRIPTION
       sfeed_mbox formats feed data (TSV) from sfeed(1)	from stdin or for each
       file to stdout in the mboxrd format.  If	one or more file arguments are
       specified then the basename of the file is used as the feed name	in the
       output.	 If  no	 file  arguments are specified and so the data is read
       from stdin then the feed	name is	empty.	The mbox data can  be  further
       processed  by  tools  like  procmail(1) or fdm(1) for example.  See the
       README file for some examples.

CUSTOM HEADERS
       To make further filtering simpler some custom headers are set:

       X-Feedname
	       The feed	name, this is the basename of the feed file.

       X-RSS-Author
	       Item author, if it is set.

       X-RSS-Enclosure
	       Item, first enclosure, if it is set.

       X-RSS-ID
	       RSS item	GUID or	Atom id, if it is set.

       X-RSS-TAGS
	       Category	field, the '|' separator is replaced by	a comma	(',').

       X-RSS-URL
	       Item link, if it	is set.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       SFEED_MBOX_CONTENT
	       Include the content.  This can be insecure for some of the mail
	       clients that interpret HTML code	in an unsafe way.  By  default
	       this is set to "0".

       SFEED_MBOX_FROM
	       Override	 the  "From" header.  The default is the author	of the
	       item (if	it has one) and	 the  e-mail  "<anonymous@localhost>".
	       Some unsafe characters are removed from the author field.

       SFEED_MBOX_TO
	       Override	 the  "To"  header.  The default is "<anonymous@local-
	       host>".

EXIT STATUS
       The sfeed_mbox utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
       Example:

	   sfeed_mbox ~/.sfeed/feeds/*

       Below is	an example to include the content.  This can be	 insecure  for
       some of the mail	clients	that interpret HTML code in an unsafe way:

	   SFEED_MBOX_CONTENT=1	sfeed_mbox ~/.sfeed/feeds/*
