This module sends E-mail notifications to watchers for events that take place on watched objects. The messages themselves are generated similar to print_message/2 using the grammars

mail_notify:event_subject//1

Define the subject of the message

mail_notify:event_message//1

Define the body of the message

To be done

- Eventually, this should also be used to provide an RSS feed from the side.

 notify(+Object, +Term)

Notify watching users by mail of the event on Object, described by Term.

 notification_user(-User) is det[private]

Find the origin of the event, which is either the UUID of the logged on user that triggered the event, the peer IP address of this user or '<not from http>'.

 send_message(+Parts, +Output) is det[private]

Write message fragments to Output. This is similar to print_message/2.

 make_subject(+Object, +Event)//[private]

Generate the fragments that describe the subject for Event on Object.

 make_message(+UUID, +Object, +User, +Event)//[private]

Generate the fragments that describe the message body for Event on Object.

 server(-Server) is det[private]

Provide a URL for the server. Note that the mail server runs in a different thread and thus the HTTP thread should call this before launching the mail thread.

 msg_user(+UUID)// is det

Plain-text reference to a user with hyperlink.

 watcher(+Object, -MailOrUser) is nondet[private]

True when Object is being watched by MailOrUser. Note that users are described by their UUID, and thus never conflict with a valid mail address.

To be done

- : Allow users to set watches
