I get a daily digest of the forum postings by email. It works quite well with a one line summary of each post at the top which you can click on to get to the post further down the email. The email also has links to the post on the forum itself. The only downside I've found is that if there are a

You can write a server in a tiny bit of code, but to see what is going on / wrong you want to log things at every step - or at least the important bits - and your code ends up with
