There is an easier way of saying this:
I'd like to send mail to a tiddler
Tiddlers don't have email addresses so you can't send emails to them.
It down be *very nice* if all tiddlers had a "mailto" link in the dropdown
region of the tiddler.
Clicking on this should allow you to compose and send an email to the
tiddler.
Well not really - it sends it to an address of some person or program that
will do something with
the mail. What happens when you get such a mail is not part of the TW -
it's an out-of-band problem.
Seems to me like entire TW's should have an associated email address.
There is a slight problem here, who gets the mail if a tiddler is modified.
I think the original author of the tiddler should get the mail
If the tiddler has been modified the person who modified the tiddler gets
the mail
and might possibly forward it to the original author.
Processing such mails would open a range of possibilities.
