Hello,

I was thinking of writing a small java program that would notify me when I had private messages, but I can't seem to retrieve the html source for these pages, which is a very major hangup. Any thoughts, or is this impossible?

[edit] Just for clarification, I know how to get the source for any other page on the interenet in Java, but for some reason, the forums pages just won't work. BTW, if you don't believe me, try hitting "View Source" in your browser. [/edit]

[edit2] I'm an idiot. [/edit2]

I wonder if you could prevent veiwing souce by adding more and more line breaks, could you crash wordpad? Hmm.. it would be interesting for certian kinds of websites!
