[dba-Tech] Google Alerts

Have the emails dump to a database, you can do that with a little code.
Then write an .asp page on your site, that displays the contents of the
database.

Marty,

Maybe I goofed up the explanation of my situation.  Let me put it to you
this way.  If you had an intranet website, how would you present to your
viewers all of the daily emails you get from [dba-Tech]?  Keep in mind that
our policies, though not as restrictive as Güstav's, do not allow for
"installation" of software.

I was hoping to keep this filed under the KISS principle.

Why not use an  rss xml news feed, you might have to provide a rss viewer
A viewer essentialy looks at and reformats the xml and refreshes on a
timely basis
It beats looking at the xml file in IE and hitting refresh or F5, every
five minutes.
The xml is a really simple format and you can fancy up the output with
xsl or css
I have written a Access one but there are plenty of user friendly ones
hooked to IE
Heck there are even rss feeds that search blogs
for starters
