I have HTML-RECENTMAIL.WCX setup for my special "ANONYMOUS RSS" account 
to join/read most of the WINSERVER support forums.

You can add this URL to your web site or bookmark in your browser:

     http://www.winserver.com/public/code/html-recentmail.wcx

and this will be a very quick way to see if there are any new messages 
or discussions in the public mail forums.  To actually read a message, 
you would have to login when your click an message item.

NOTE:

HTML-RECENTMAIL.WCX is currently generating a canned HTML display.  I 
was going to add a simple switch to it, like RSS=1, to create RSS 
output.  That would you to add this URL as a RSS FEED to your Browser or 
Mail reader, like Thunderbird.

But we are going to use a new way called REST to get the Wildcat! WEB 
2.0 API services. I'm going to merge HTML-RECENTMAIL.WCX into the new 
WCRPC system.

For example, right now we have a RSS feed for getting the New Files 
since X days, like so:

http://www.winserver.com/public/code/html-wcrpc?cmd=rpcNewFiles&days=180

That will scan the file areas for the last 180 days. It uses a new REST 
- like syntax to pass the "Action" and arguments to a new HTML-WCRPC.WCX 
handler.

Since the above URL is a public request, this also uses the special 
account "ANONYMOUS RSS" to define the accessible file areas which it can 
scan.

If you want to scan secured file areas for your security access at 
winserver.com, then remove the /public/ part:

    http://www.winserver.com/code/html-wcrpc?cmd=rpcNewFiles&days=180

and that will force a login (authentication) prompt for our site.

Check it all out and let us know what you think or if you have any comments.

Thanks
