MailerContrib

Changed:

<
< Add-on to the TWiki kernel that supports e-mail notification of changes.

>
>

Add-on to the TWiki kernel that allows users to "subscribe" to regularly scheduled e-mails containing either:

A report on changes to all topics that have changed within a particular TWiki web.
A report on changes to a specific topic or set of topics the user can define flexibly.
The entire content of a specific topic or set of topics. This is referred to as "news mode."

Developer Notes

The changes mails sent to users are based on a TWiki template called mailnotify. This template must contain the following definitions.

`HTML:before`	Section of a HTML mail before the changes
`HTML:middle`	Repeated in a HTML mail for each change
`HTML:after`	Section of a HTML mail after the changes
`PLAIN:before`	Section of a plain text mail before the changes
`PLAIN:middle`	Repeated in a plain text mail for each changes
`PLAIN:after`	Section of a plain text mail after the changes
`MailNotifyBody`	All the above are embedded in this. %HTML_TEXT% expands to the HTML obtained by expanding the `HTML:` templates, and %PLAIN_TEXT% from the `PLAIN:` templates.

The default template sends multipart mails containing both HTML and plaintext versions. You can easily provide a custom version of this template using a local skin.

Newsletters are sent after formatting using the standard view template, using whatever skin is selected in the topic being mailed.
