It might be nice to include the change summary in the email, but I couldn't work out how to do it easily (without hacking pmwiki.php) as the $ChangeSummary variable is not preserved after exiting the RecentChanges handlers? You could try and * [[Cookbook/B3]] . . . @2025-04-02T13:27:05Z by [[~Petko]]: [= (+5)

 in the email.

Unfortunately if the user clicks cancel and leaves the edit form they still get the same message; but this is the nature of $EditRedirectFmt.

You can make your emails look much nicer by inserting line breaks. Use %0A for every line break. Here is a sample message with line breaks incorporated into the complete code required for the Site.AllGroupHeader page:
