Summary

0015355: New subscribers to RSS list digests get RSS items older than the digest time interval

Description

To quote user "alanf",

"When running an RSS e-mail with daily frequency, and another with monthly, I need to keep at least 1 months worth of RSS data on the database.

If a NEW user subscribes to the list as 'daily', on the first day the new user will get everything held on the RSS tables on the first e-mail, as nothing has been flagged as being sent to that user.

In an ideal world, when a new user subscribes to a daily list, the RSS table would be flagged to excluded everything over a day old for that user, son on the first e-mail they get just the recent RSS data (and the same logic for weeky / monthly )"

I would add it may appear like a trivial problem because it only affects new subscribers... except that if you are setting up PHPlist for the first time, and you are importing a list of 10,000 people, and you have a number of RSS feeds that go back a year, suddenly it is not a trivial issue because it will affect 10,000 people.
