Sean, This is exaclty the type of application that is demonstrated in the book, "Cocoon: Building XML Applications" by Matthew Langham and Carsten Ziegeler, published by New Riders. There are 3 versions of a news portal that increase in complexity. I have found the book to be a great resource for Cocoon in general and it should have exactly what you need. I'm sure the book is widely available.

I have been asked to locate software that can dynamically create a newsletter from numerous RSS feeds according to individual user preferences and then pass it along to a message transfer agent. Here is the process my boss envisions: 1.. Readers subscribe to a newsletter, and specify the content areas and sub-domains they would like to receive information on. 2.. Each newsletter is dynamically generated with the content specified by the individual subscriber. 3.. The newsletter is emailed to the subscriber. All of my research indicates that Apache Cocoon is practically manna from heaven in this area, except that I can't find any examples of it being used for e-mail applications - just Web applications. Is anyone here aware of whether or not Cocoon can be put to work with dynamic e-mail applications? If so, are there any examples I can show my boss? Any information/advice is appreciated.
