			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the fact that some believe that <a href="http://www.techcrunchit.com/2009/05/05/rest-in-peace-rss/" target="_blank">RSS is dead</a> (well, <a href="http://www.scripting.com/stories/2009/05/06/rssIsDeadMyAss.html" target="_blank">some</a> don&#8217;t), I still use it frequently to catch up on the day&#8217;s news at a glance.</p>
<p>Historically, I&#8217;ve kept my feeds in Apple&#8217;s Mail.app. However, I&#8217;ve recently found myself wanting to catch up on RSS when I&#8217;m in the car or at the gym. I needed a way to move from Mail to Google Reader.</p>
<p>The trouble is, Apple doesn&#8217;t have a way for you to export your RSS links our of Mail (as text or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML" target="_blank">OPML</a>). Thus, I turned to the Google, and found a fairly simple solution:</p>
<ol>
<li>Export the RSS feeds as URL links in plain text (Mac OSX Leopard-only). This bash link places the export on your desktop.<br />
<code></p>
<pre style="color: green;">IFS=$'\n';for i in $(find ~/Library/Mail/RSS/ -name "Info.plist");</pre>
<pre style="color: green;">do grep "http://" $i | sed "s/.*\(http[^&lt;]*\).*/\1/" &gt;&gt; ~/Desktop/Mail\ Feeds.txt;done</pre>
<p></code></li>
<li>Convert to from Plain Text to OPML. I used the excellent converter at <a style="text-decoration: line-through;" href="http://unold.dk/code/opmlgen/" target="_blank">http://unold.dk/code/opmlgen/</a> (Dead-link, update thanks to commenter Tom: <a href="http://reader.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php">http://reader.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php</a>)</li>
<li>Import into GoogleReader!</li>
</ol>
<p>Simple. I know have all my feeds in GoogleReader, and can access them whereever I am.</p>
