[pmwiki-users] Mail Post Manual Trigger

[Radu]

Actually I always had that problem with the current MailPosts recipe. I 
didn't implement that recipe on the wiki I'm using to test pmwiki because 
it led to too much email traffic.

What I would like to see, would be an action on the page itself, something 
like MailThisPage, that would send a link back to the wiki only to the 
people who have subscribed to that page. Then we shift the responsibility 
back to the authors for letting others know when something important has 
happened on the wiki, something that requires feedback.

I kicked the idea around for a while with Pm, but there was no expressed 
interest from others so we dropped it. At least until I get around to 
really needing something like it. :)
