Good idea. RSS could be set up with filters for standard headers that could include "warning" or "danger", and then execute a program of your choosing to alert you. > If you and I were to have peer to peer RSS with encryption, I would read what > you sent me specifically, and could respond to you specifically. No SPAM. This is great if we always knew who we wanted to talk with, and could set that up ahead of time. And there could be a simple mechanism to allow people to send you "RSS email", then to drop that mail into a box, removing that privilege if that feed started spamming you. But you would still have the task of setting up the connection in the first place, and that email itself would probably contain the SPAM message. For those people who have distinct audiences and senders, those people wishing to register their information with some secure database before sending email, this might work. But it would disenfranchise many. Still, it is an option to think about. md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
