I've been doing that for some time, but I'd prefer to get emails since
that doesn't rely on me checking the rss feed.
It seems to me to be far more work to get an email than to use an RSS
reader.
On MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger), put the RSS feed on your bookmarks bar, and
a little number will pop up when there are changes. Other RSS readers
can be configured to put a number badge on its Dock icon. Compared to
discovering you have email, switching to Mail, selecting the message,
and reading it, either of these are MUCH simpler!
So let's see, rather than patching mediawiki to send me email, which
is what I want, since I'm pretty much checking email all the time,
it's easier to switch platforms.
Maybe for you.
To each his own.
