There is a simple example of a Java blog-to-mail program in my book. BlogMailer reads a list feeds and then sends out a digest email, with title and except for each new entry, if any have changed since the last time it ran. It's designed to run as a cron-job or a Windows Scheduled Task. The code is Apache license and you can get it here: http://blogapps.dev.java.net; it's the Chapter 15 example in Blogapps 1.x.

But that works only for publicly accessible blogs, no? This is on the Intranet :-( And if I could find a hole, they would get me for sending out company confidential stuff. I have found an RSS Reader for Lotus Notes (yes, we use that). I guess I'll have to convince the users to keep an eye on the blog. That sounds a better option then rss2mail. Thank you for your help and suggestion.
