Seems like a web service would be overkill for this sort of thing.
What I would do is provide a server-side process that generates and distributes the e-mail (perl works quite nicely), then call this process whenever the datafeed changes. HTH, Ian Ian D.

I have a number of clients that receive an XML datafeed. This datafeed can change due to various circumstances and I would like all the clients to be notified of any change. Would it be possible for a Web Service to notify all clients of a change or would the clients need to continually poll the Web Service for any changes. Regards Jim.
