Web Changes Notification ServiceEach TWiki web has an automatic e-mail notification service that sends you an e-mail with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert. Users subscribe to email notifications using their WikiName or an alternative email address, and can specify the webs/topics they wish to track, Whole groups of users can also be subscribed for notification. The general format of a subscription is: three spaces* subscriber [ : topics ]
Where subscriber can be a WikiName, an E-mail address, or a
group name. If subscriber contains any characters that are not legal in
an email address, then it must be enclosed in 'single' or "double" quotes. Please note that the guest user TWikiGuest does not have an email address mapped to it, and will never receive email regardless of the configuration of that user.
topics is an optional space-separated list of topics:
* daisy.cutter@flowers.comSubscribe Daisy to all changes to topics that start with Web .
* daisy.cutter@flowers.com : Web*Subscribe Daisy to changes to topics starting with Petal , and their immediate children, WeedKillers and children to a depth of 3, and all topics that match start with Pretty and end with Flowers e.g. PrettyPinkFlowers
