Date in Title when Fetching News

Nigel H · 01-13-2010, 11:02 AM

I have a few scheduled news sources (e.g. BBC, Times). These update ok but the Title contains that days date so I end up with a new "book" each time. I have to manually delete the old one in calibre and on the device. I would prefer to just get the latest news, overwriting the old one. Is that possible?

No, it isn't. But in the fetch news dialog at the bottom is an option to delete old news automatically from the calibre library (though not the device)
