Actually, quite a few mail readers can consume RSS feeds and display them "as if" they were emails. (Webmailers, Thunderbird etc.) Sometimes it is hidden a bit. E.g. in Zimbra (webmail) I have to `Create New Folder` and from there I am able to check `Subscribe RSS/Atom Feed` and past the URL as the folder source.

Maybe this could help the patron(s) in question to get the desired result.
