By default, it tries to convert each feed item to text (using a script that could be packaged separately I think…). But you can put "HTML_MAIL = 1" in ~/.rss2email/config.py to disable this conversion. So, if you only have links I believe that the feed you are viewing does not have inline content. We can talk about that off-list or in the BTS if you want :-) -- Etienne Millon
