Description: I'd like to see an option to include a "diff" of the changes made in the MailPosts email. This would allow one to more easily monitor changes made.


How much of a "diff"? For some edits the diff could get fairly long. And what format do you want the diff to take?

--Pm


I'd like to see a diff of the edited pages in the notification e-mail too. I've been a MoinMoin user (Wiki written in Python), whose notification e-mails contain the changes in diff-like format. A little more information is on MoinMoin's website

In fact, I think that any format would be ok, as long it makes easy to read. I know the diffs could be long, but I think that would take longer to read the RecentChanges... they're one more click away! :-)

(BTW, this is my first edit on this site. I hope I've done everything correctly... am I supposed to add my profile?)
