emzen on "Email notification on new news posts (and/or album update)"

Hi,

Quick background: I have a personal photo site and I want my family to get notified when I post a new 'news' item or when I upload new photos or new album.

I wanted to know if there's a plugin, or an easy way to send email notifications when I post a new blog item. Same idea goes to the gallery. I'd like to send notifications if I upload a photo or create a new album.

I *guess* I could make some rss2email script that would do the same, but wanted to know if it's possible within ZP.

thanks!
