The current RSS reader opens the PPC's email and I type in a couple letters of my email address and hit send. Can this be done on GoNews?
One clarification, are you able to download the entire story on some but not all feeds? I think that's what Amit was posting above but I'm not sure. Is it up to the source as to whether or not the entire story can be downloaded? I've tried my local newspaper on various PPC RSS readers and all I get is the short story version so I'm not sure if it's them or the reader.
Since I haven't found a free Twitter program that will allow me to email Twitter messages (there may be a reader that does this, I don't know) I currently have my Twitter feeds set as an RSS feed on my RSS reader and email them as well. More and more tweets contain url's linked to stories online and I prefer to read these on my PC as well. For some reason all I can get is 20 tweets and haven't figured out how to increase the number picked up by the RSS feed.

Hi buzzard
The version announced with this thread here (version 1.1) still didn't include the option to email articles so this is why I didn't reply here up until now.
The good news is that since this new version was released we released two more minor updates since then (updates 1.11 and 1.12) and we now also have a new feature included which allow users to easily email an article to any email address of your choice from within the article reading dialog
I hope that this will be helpful. You can find more details about the most recent update at the following link:

As for the content downloaded - this depends on the source of the feed. RSS feeds usually will have only a short description of the article and not the entire article included with them. However, if you add channels using GoNews Templates those will include full-text articles with them (including pictures) and not only the RSS headlines that are usually provided from web-sites. You can find lots of site templates within GoNews Templates forum that users are sharing at the following link:

You can easily load these additional templates to GoNews and add them as new channels there.
I hope that this helps!
