Question for news in Kindle 2

cartesio · 07-26-2009, 04:01 PM

Many thanks for the program, I have used it for a week and it is just great. I mostly use it to fetch news and send them to my kindle 2. The new version 0.6 does it wonderfully. Just one question:

Is there an (easy) way to get the title of the periodicals in my kindle as, for example, "The Economist" instead of "The Economist [Sat, Jul 25, 2009]"? I believe that this would have two advantages: (1) Cleaner presentations, as the day of the periodical already shows in the second column of my kindle; and (2) It would allow to send old versions of the periodical automatically to the "Back Issues folder" whenever I upload a new version. As of now, the two versions remain in the main home page.

Thanks a lot again.

You can create a custom recipe base don the builtin one and just set

timefmt = ''
