Hi. I'm new to using list managers so please be forgiving :-)
This is a request for advice on setting up a service for customers of my
company, NEWSdesk. This mailing is split into the following sections:
Who Are NEWSdesk?

Who Are NEWSdesk?
-----------------
We are a service for journalists, analysts and consultants worldwide to
download industry related news for free. Primarily this is done via Web
pages maintained by us and sponsored by major industry players. The aim is
to supply these people (journalists, etc.) with a service that makes the job
of finding relevant infomation quickly and as it breaks by searching one
site. News is split by date of release, company, and theme. Many languages
are supported.
Background
----------
We currently send an e-mail once a week to our accredited journalists with
headlines of all the releases that have appeared in the last week. If any
are of interest to them, they have to access our relevant Web page to
download each text file for each press release they want. This takes a bit
of time and is fiddly. What they would like, and therefore what we would
like to supply, is an automatic service using e-mail. Using this they could
choose from our weekly list of latest releases those of interest and e-mail
to us the names of them together with a command that causes our system to
e-mail the relevent files to them automatically. Meanwhile, we would like to
keep track, in a simple way, of who has requested what information.
Can you help?
-------------
Firstly, is this possible? From what I have read, I think it is. Can I get
the functionality I require from a MLM or do I need an archive server? Any
recommendations for such applications?
Thank you for your attention. I can be contacted directly at:
