Here is my thinking... - - Gather all email into one folder each week. - - Scan email subjects in that folder with a script for subjects that start with "ANN", these are announcements, no? And they could go into an announcements section. - - Scan email subjects in the folder keeping count of the number of times a topic appears. When they reach a pre-defined threshold (say 10?) they are labeled as "Hot topics", or "Fiery Red Gems". A short description of the general topic will be provided. The information that we will deliver, i thought could be put into XML with translations applied for different formats? Not sure if different formats are needed - I have a tendency to like playing with technologies and but of course there usage is always applicable *lies through his teeth*. Thoughts, suggestions, rants, raves, and criticisms, all welcome. - -- Signed, Holden Glova -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8DwpP+mF116Lw2cQRAgrCAJ49Xu/n9Y5Ox5sSRlUq478Q69ypiACeMYM5 9nfsIX2l6P5/b7ohiRnyn9g= =VUTy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
