The announcements are made in your CCC management, in the first page you see under announcements.
Perhaps these announcements could be made available in a subscribable format, either by mailing list or (my preference) RSS? Pretty simple to set up a Wordpress or typepad blog for them, which would make them automatically subscribable in Firefox or any RSS-capable reader.
I missed the announcement on teh PHP/.htacess changes, which resulted in five hours of downtime for my web site. I assumed that critical configuration changes would merit emails. I generally don't log onto support unless I have an issue.
This has prompted me to look at the Virtual Server offerings, and, assuming that my test setup has a unique hardware problem that will be resolved, I'll probably go that route. But there has to be a better way of making me want to upgrade my service than proving to me how fragile my existing account is -- four downtimes (three mail, one web) since WebHSP took the account over from Data393, after no problems for the last few years with VO and then Data393. I'll note though, that it must be bad luck with Frogger. I have another account set up on Joust that hasn't had a blip (and I'm probably jinxing it... :-)).
