Hi Folks,

We are going to use ANU NEWS as a local bulletin board for our users (with
local newsgroups, some moderated).

The problem that faces us is that the user needs to be notified when they
login (or very soon afterwards) that they have new items in *Registered Local*
newsgroups.

Before we sit down & do some code cutting, has anyone already been there & done
that?  If so we would love to hear from you.
Could be something of general interest, so might pay to post back to the
newsgroup.

Thanks in advance,
