This sub-command polls all configured feeds, sending an email for
new item in those feeds.

The list of feeds is read from '~/.rss2email/feeds'.

We record details of all the feed-items which have been seen beneath
 '~/.rss2email/seen/', and these entries will be expired automatically
when the corresponding entries have fallen out of the source feed.

Example:

    $ rss2email cron user1@example.com user2@example.com


Email Sending:

By default we pipe outgoing messages through '/usr/sbin/sendmail' for delivery,
however it is possible to use SMTP for sending emails directly.  If you
wish to use SMTP you need to configure the following environmental variables:

    SMTP_HOST       (e.g. "smtp.gmail.com")
    SMTP_PORT       (e.g. "587")
    SMTP_USERNAME   (e.g. "user@domain.com")
    SMTP_PASSWORD   (e.g. "secret!word#here")


Email Template:

An embedded template is used to generate the emails which are sent, you
may create a local override for this, for more details see :

    $ rss2email help list-default-template
`

// Arguments handles our flag-setup.
func (c *cronCmd) Arguments(f *flag.FlagSet) {

	f.BoolVar(&c.send, "send", true, "Should we send emails, or just pretend to?")

	// configuration option.
