I also don't know much about TCL, so i've got some learning to do. Currently I use the newsbeuter/newsboat RSS reader, pipe the article into a little bash script that prompts for title, whatever, creates a little text file in /tmp with the body of the RSS article plus those respones, then stuffs the text file into the postnews python script. Has worked a treat since 2014. I'll check this out, thanks! However, I'll still bitch and moan: I'm just annoyed that things that work, stop working or are deprecated because "not enough people use them." Yeah I know, someone has to mantain the code, and there aren't enough volunteers, etc. Just annoyed things I like continued to evolve. Meanwhile, whiskey has generally assuaged my general sense of annoyance that technology evolves. :)
