Forward email newsletters into Feedbin

Email newsletters are some of the best free content produced by news organizations these days — concise, timely, and devoid of their website's megabytes of advertising JavaScript. However, it's distracting to receive them at random points during the day. I much prefer to manage my news consumption at my own pace.

Fortunately, Feedbin is two steps ahead of me! You too can use Feedbin's "Subscribe to Email Newsletters" feature to move your email newsletter subscriptions into RSS. Simply:

  1. Copy your secret newsletter email address from feedbin.com/settings.
  2. Add your secret newsletter email address as a forwarding email in Gmail.
  3. Configure a Gmail filter for each newsletter to auto-forward to Feedbin (and mark as read / archive).

Pretty awesome.
