[NFBK] NFB-NEWSLINE

[slery]

I can assure you that those on Android gave up waiting for this since it 
has been "expected" for years. We use other things for news and use 
other ways of accessing newsline for those very local publications that 
are not available any other way. If you are looking for a feature, 
perhaps a setting that would let you download every issue on the day it 
comes out at the user specified time and be able to keep it until 
deleted. The user specified time would help with publications that 
update all day long. I personally use the podcast version so that each 
article is downloaded by my aggregator when it comes out. I tried the 
email version but it would send in the morning and only had one or two 
articles. When I used a Victor stream, I always listened to the previous 
day so I had the full paper. As for the downloading and keeping until 
deleting, this is why I like the podcast way, so if I am sick or not 
able to get through an issue for a couple of days, then I have not 
missed that issue. I delete without listening to the articles that I am 
not interested in (i.e. obits of people I don't know, high school sports).

PS There has been turn-over in Indiana leadership. Is Lee Martin still 
my newsline contact? The last time I emailed with a problem, I never 
heard from him.
