No way. HTTP is a pull-mechanism: information is always requested by the
client. Solutions: push a mail to the user or let the generated HTML
page repeatedly update itself. 

The latter is an HTTP/HTML feature that is not part of the W3C standards
but works quite well with most standard browsers, nevertheless. Add
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://selfhtml.teamone.de/";>
to your HTML page header, and the browser will replace the page after
five seconds by the one specified in the URL.
