QED supports both RSS and Atom 
feeds, and provides support both for generic feeds and specialized feeds, e.g. watchlist feeds and feeds by category.
To construct a specialized feed, you will need to create your own URL by appending a specification of your selection criteria to the following base:
http://qed.princeton.edu/feeds.php?
For example:
http://qed.princeton.edu/feeds.php?format=atom&feed=watchlist&user=Netid
In the case of Google Mail, you would proceed as follows:
- Copy the desired URL or template to the clipboard
- to copy, right-click on the link or text and select the appropriate option
- Go to the Preferences tab in Google Mail
- Select the "Web clips" tab
- Paste the link into the box labeled "Search by topic or URL:"
- Edit the pasted text as appropriate
