Nice command! 

For those that avoid the command line I should explain a little. Really
you should learn to love the command-line interface but we will talk
about that later. In this case I simply highlighted the text, opened the
Applications/Terminal, and clicked the middle wheel/button to paste into
the terminal.

When I pressed Enter, roughly the following happened; The search for
available evolution software and specifically for the term "rss". After
this the search result was returned to the terminal:

evolution-rss - Evolution RSS Reader Plugin

Therefore there is a way to feed RSS to an evolution mailbox. New users
if you see us terminal-geeks talking in gibberish try to ignore that or
ask any question. It's OK to be confused, it's normal. Raise your hand!
