So let's say: for every scan performed by euscan send an email with all
watched updated packages not already in portage.
Just a list of the packages? (with a link to the euscan page? or would
you prefer text-only emails?)

Example:
+ a-category/package1-3.3.4-r0: [<upstream>]
+ a-category/package2-0.1.1-r0: [<upstream>]
...


Settings for emails could be:
- Activate / deactivate email notifications
- Ignore unstable versions (alpha, beta, etc...)
- Ignore unstable versions only if current version is stable

Should we show removals in the email? Or only bumps?
Would you like to receive infos about adds in portage or upstream only?
Or a setting for that?

Other suggestions?

Great!

So settings for rss feeds:
- Show or not portage updates
- Show or not upstream updates
- Show or not removals
- Show or not bumps
- Ignore unstable versions (alpha, beta, etc...)
- Ignore unstable versions only if current version is stable

Settings are available in all feeds as url options, not just in the user
custom feed (shows only watched stuff).

Other suggestions?
