Default Generating RSS feed from newsletter content

The previous entries seem to be focused on reading and displaying RSS feeds from other sources.

I'm contemplating on generating feed info based on internal x-cart newsletter items.
It shouldn't be too difficult to have a PHP script make a query from the database, and write out an XML file.

Anyone thinking trying this idea out? It would be a great addition to those X-cart users that have events, new products, sales etc. that they would want folks to know about. Now users can only subscribe to e-mail, which can easily get lost in the deluge of SPAM we all face these days. This could be a viable alternative.

I'll start investigating what it would entail to add a PHP script to generate a feed. Any one want to help, feel free to jump aboard
