Hello Arnold and listers,

If you write such a program I'd like to use it too.

Thanks for the responses.

What I am trying to accomplish is that when the home pages, for any reason,
emails are created notifying members of the chapter. For example, I have an
RSS feed from the NFB Press room. When a new entry is added, I'd like to
notify members. It keeps them aware of the site. I'll have other feeds on
there also. I could set up an RSS feed off of my site; but, the chapter
members are not heavy web users and find that a scary exercise. I'm
subscribed to mdsupport.com which sends me an automatic notification when
news is added to the news page. It is really a very nice way of keeping
abreast. I could write a server side program, which I might do,
