There are various different ways to receive notifications of changes to a MindTouch:
Setup an RSS reader in your Email Client
The fastest and easiest way to receive notifications in email for RSS feeds is to setup an RSS reader in your email client. Below is a list of e-mail clients with some RSS readers that can be installed:
Microsoft Outlook
Depending on what version of Outlook you are using, there should be support for subscribing to RSS feeds. If you have a version that doesn't support RSS feeds you can use free software provided by companies like Newsgator.
Mozilla Thunderbird
Thunderbird natively supports RSS feed reading. Click here to read more on setting it up.
Mac Mail
Similar to Outlook, there are companies that provide free software that can be installed to read RSS feeds. The latest version of Mac Mail in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) now features RSS feeds in a similar manner to Thunderbird.
Use an RSS forwarding Service
Another way to recieve notifications in your email is to use hosted RSS forwarding services. The services consume the RSS feed and sends them to the email address that you stipulate.
Use a hosted RSS reader as opposed to having it in your Email
A lot of people are using hosted RSS readers like Google Reader to keep track of notifications. If you use Gmail, you can get the Better Gmail Firefox Extension and integrate Google Reader in the bottom half of the Gmail screen.
Install an RSS reader on your computer
