Yes, I used to do this. I used to get new document releases
every day from a US Government Agency. My Electric Utility
users would select key words.
Service A. Every day, I would use Verity to select
documents that matched their key words, and email them a list
of URLs and Verity Summaries of the docs. It worked very well.
Service B. My standard email every day was
to send an email listing new releases that day, by title and
URL, in those of the 40-odd Document Types (not key words) my
users had pre-selected.
I had introduced Service B first. Service A never became
nearly as popular as Service B, even though I advertised
Service A in every issue of Service B. No additional fee
either for Service A. I never understood why more were not
interested in Service A.

PS> My first document retrieval method was a CF-driven email
file server. (Users send the right email and the document was
automagically returned by email.) This was before many of my
users had web access. This method was still used by many,
especially those in Japan, Europe, South America, etc. And
it was convenient. One click, no waiting for a document to
download (some were quite long), go on to other work, pick up
the doc in your email in 15 minutes (the cycle time I had set
with CF Schedular).
