My RSS reader service also provides an email address for email-only subscriptions: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl... . I read email newsletters in the same place as RSS. I'm subscribed to a few low-volume Twitter searches too (https://feedbin.com/blog/2018/01/11/feedbin-is-the-best-way-...).

I use Kill the newsletter for that purpose, as my RSS reader is client-side

Looks like a great tool - thanks for sharing.
Same here.
I just tried using Kill the Newsletter! on Farnam Street [1] and the experience was awesome. Simple, fast, free and no ads.

Thanks for introducing a very good tool!

+1 for sending newsletters to Feedbin. It’s a great feature.

The only issue I had once was a newsletter provider who required you to reply to an email to confirm you wanted to subscribe (which of course you can’t do as it’s only for incoming emails), but I contacted the newsletter owner and was approved manually.

Woah thank you. I was looking for something like this but couldn’t find the right service. This looks great.
HOLY CRAP I have been wanting this exact feature for years. I always thought why aren't Newsletter and RSS reside in the same space. I rarely use email anymore given all the spam and advert.
I do the same thing with Feedbin. It's delightful.
Same here with Inoreader. Big fan of their service.
