There's at least one service that converts RSS feeds into email for you:  http://blogtrottr.com.

This may be the easiest way of getting our News into your email system, so if you're uncomfortable with other ways described below or they don't work for you why don't you try this?

Use Google News

Google has this RSS reader, which appears to be available for a number of platforms, e.g. the Chrome browser, Android or iOS.

Firefox

Mozilla Firefox has a very nice feature: Live Bookmarks. With Live Bookmarks you can see the item titles of an RSS web feed ("headlines") in your bookmarks. This way you can stay in touch with sites without visiting them all the time.

Subscribing to an RSS web feed is as simple as creating a Live Bookmark. And to make life even easier Firefox can auto detect some feeds, and provide a shortcut for subscribing.

When you visit a site and you see the orange icon in the bottom right part of the Mozilla Firefox browser window (the status bar), or if you are using version 1.5 or newer, in the right most part of the address bar.

Otherwise just go to our RSS page and it should ask you to Subscribe.
