I think generally the lightest bets are to use rss2email or a browser plugin.
Hmmm, these days I tend to use mutt and rss2maildir (but, err, I might be a tiny bit biased in as much as I might well have written rss2maildir as I got annoyed with the other options ;)
(rss2maildir is written in python and only has an external dependency on feedparser, so should be easy to set up. It's currently only available from it's git repository, though: http browsing: http://git.sommitrealweird.co.uk/gitweb?p=rss2maildir.git;a=summary http clone url: http://git.sommitrealweird.co.uk/rss2maildir.git git clone url: http://git.sommitrealweird.co.uk/rss2maildir.git
It creates a seperate file per entry in rssfeeds, creates a "plain text" version and attaches the origional "HTML". The HTML -> Plain Text translator isn't perfect, but it's not bad! (It's slowly getting closer to ReST which is the aim). )
