[pmwiki-users] Anti-spam measure - mail filter that tags posts with new URIs

Here's another idea for anti-spam, or rather to make it easier to detect 
it. What if the mail notification could add some marker or similar to the 
entries where someone has added a link? Perhaps even add the URI that was 
added?

To be specific, if someone edits a page and adds a URIs to
 	http://car-insurances.com/...
 	http://free-surfing.com/...

it'd be very convenient if the text in the mail notification said 
something like
* http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/RecentChanges [URI changed]
   [New domains: car-insurances.com (3), free-surfing.com ]

where the entry for the page lists not all the new links on the page, but 
just the domains that the new links point to (and the number of links to 
each domain).

This would have made it very easy for me to detect the most recent wave of 
spam anyway.
