RSS - Downloading entire articles?

Hi, I have a question about RSS feeds in general, and specifically, if any PPC programs will help me do what I need, thanks for the help!

I remember 3-5 years ago using Avantgo which would download entire articles (while docked to a PC) from sites and store them on the device for later viewing offline (before wireless internet was prevalent). I'm on the hunt for a program that will basically do the same for my new Diamond, ideally with RSS feeds because almost every site offers them.

I've tried RSS Hub, but it seems to only download the headline, and reading the article requires clicking the link, which opens Opera and then requires a live data connection. I've also tried SPB Insight and found the CNN channels (including subchannels) do actually download the entire article, but at least a couple other channels (mostly news) only download the headlines.

Is this "headline or article" choice something set by the RSS operator, or are there programs that will automatically download the entire article attached to RSS feeds? Knowing what I'm trying to do, does anybody have any better ideas?

Thanks!
