The other idea is something called mailinglist2rss.pl. Mailing lists are cool and work quite well. RSS is great way to syndicate content. I thought I might be able to combine their strengths by writing a procmail recipe that listens to a mailing list. When the recipe receives input it first pipes the email message to a mailing list archiver (say, Hypermail). Next, the recipe updates an RSS file where the new message gets pushed onto a stack. This RSS file is then syndicated to various RSS readers. Such a program, mailinglist2rss.pl, would allow people to monitor a mailing list without having to subscribe, nor would they have to actively visit the mailing list archives for updates. What about this one? -- Eric Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
