Description
Brief description of the feature request
Currently full articles can be downloaded either if the corresponding option is enabled for the feed (in this case full articles are always downloaded for every article while fetching) or manually by pressing a button in article previewer.
Not all feeds have all articles interesting - many feeds have not interesting articles and it can be concluded just from article title. So no need to click the article to preview it and also no need to enable article body downloading for all articles with this feed (because many articles are not interesting so no need to download everything).
In the same time, some feeds have very brief contents for items (like couple of lines). So for these feeds I definitely know that if article is interesting I need the full article to read because the summary in feed item is not informative. And I need to click on article and then always press "Download" button to retrieve the article body.
So the proposal is to have the option for feed "Retrieve full article when open it". In this case after I click on the article in the article list I can read it immediately, no need to press the "Download" button. And also no need to enable downloading full articles for every articles in this feed, so we can avoid keeping garbage in the database.
We had a bit similar option in v4, but in v5 article previewer work logic was changed and this option was gone.
