If the count of updates is your problem than this idea could be something for 
you:

# cat /etc/cron.daily/pacman.updates 
#!/bin/sh
{
 /usr/bin/pacman -Sy
 echo
 /usr/bin/pacman -Sup
} | /usr/bin/mail -s "$(hostname -s): Arch Updates" YourUser

No question, this is more simple than perfect. -)

See you, Attila
