mmmm, so I see from the reply I rec'd from the webmaster. He did identify how I could integrate it with email, so I am going to give that a try and see if the result is something I can work with.

how is that? I am like you in that I want one screen to work with. The vmware forums are very active and useful, but if I could get them in email ...wow, that would be nice!

I've copied the mail the webmaster sent me and pasted below: Hi, Hylton. Thanks for your interest in our products. I believe that the VMTN forums have the ability to meet your needs. All forum posts are indeed archived. For example, take a look at the VMware Server forum: http://www.vmware.com/community/forum.jspa?forumID=219 There's a "search forum" box at the top of the right column; if your first search is unsatisfactory, there's an "Advanced Search" form included with your results. Note the time range; the default is posts within the last week. Change this dropdown if you'd like to search back to the beginning of the forum. On each forum topic, there's a link at the top entitled "Watch this topic." Clicking here (assuming you are using the forums as a logged-in user) will cause all new posts to be emailed to you. When you are a logged-in user, clicking on the link for "Your Control Panel" gives you access to two relevant choices: "Always watch topics I create" and "Always watch topics I reply to". Note also the link on this page for "My Watches", which allows you to control your currently active watches. Finally, if you have an RSS tool, note that each forum is available as an RSS feed. I personally am just a user of the forums; I have no direct responsibility for them. If you have comments or feedback on the forums, the best way to reach the people who manage it would be via the Web and Community Suggestions forum: http://www.vmware.com/community/forum.jspa?forumID=36 Best wishes-- -- Brian Rice brice@vmware.com Education Services Product Manager VMware, Inc. Hope it helps Hylton
