Download News in Multiple Formats (for Auto Send to Different Devices)

Is there a way to download news in multiple formats? I've described why I think this would be helpful below:

I use calibre to download news for use on a Kindle (in mobi format) and a phone (in ePub format). I use the auto send feature to email news to my phone (in ePub format).

I recently changed my preferred output format in calibre to mobi (to benefit from the Kindle's periodical interface, which I think requires that calibre download news in Mobi format). Since I made this change, ePub versions of the news files are not auto-sent to my phone. In the "sharing books by email" settings page, I have checked "auto send" for my phone's email address, and I have indicated that that address should only receive ePub files.

I assume the problem is that the auto-send is never triggered because calibre downloads news in mobi format, so calibre never sees any new news files in ePub format to auto-send. I can't change my preferred output format to ePub, as I understand my files converted from ePub to mobi wouldn't use the Kindle's periodical interface. I think downloading news files in both ePub and Mobi would fix the problem. Is there any way to do that or any other way to resolve this issue?
