RSS2MassMail consists of


rss2massmail.pl
-------------
A PERL script that takes care of the overall procedure:
1/ preprocess the rss2mail.xslt script to include the custom XSLT script URL
2/ run the preprocessed rss2mail.xslt to produce the HTML mail body
3/ send out the mass mail to the addresses list

Takes as an argument the URL of an RSS feed and the URL of a file containing
email addresses (addresses.txt) and the URL of a custom XSLT script that 
transforms a webpage into a simple HTML layout (custom.xslt).

Uses:
  * SES scripts.
  * Lots of lots of PERL modules (esp. to accommodate SES scripts).

Example: 
  rss2massmail.pl -f http://www.doorstroming.net/index.php?option=com_rd_rss&id=2
    -t doorstroming.xslt -a addresses.txt


rss2mail.xslt

An XSLT script that performs these steps:
1/ download the latest post on the RSS feed
2/ apply the stylesheets (included by preprocessing!)

Takes as an argument the URL of an RSS feed.


addinclude.xslt

An XSLT script that adds an include statemet to another XSLT script. 

Takes as an argument the URL of a custom XSLT script that must be included.

An XSLT script that converts a webpage into a simple HTML layout that can be 
used as body for an email message.
