Hello. Thanks for your contribution. You can copy your modified file 
notify.php to the pmwiki/cookbook/ directory and place in config.php such 
lines:

  include_once("cookbook/notify.php");
  $EnableNotify = 0; # remove any $EnableNotify = 1; in config.php

This will tell PmWiki to use your own improved script and you will not be 
required to re-fix the core script every time you upgrade.

In the past there was another feature called MailPosts which sent messages on 
changes. Now we have Notify. Because there were not enough votes, and the 
Notify feature had superseded MailPosts, Patrick clodes the PITS entry about 
MailPosts.

Probably it is best to open a new PITS entry.

Thanks,
