@Override
public void willUpdate() {
   NSDictionary diffs = 
this.changesFromSnapshot(this.editingContext().committedSnapshotForObject(this));
                
   NSLog.out.appendln("  willUpdate()  diffs    " + diffs);
}

the log shows the attributes that were updated AFTER the saveChanges() is 
called.

i am getting tired but I think this is harder than I was originally thinking.

I am on a d2w edit page. I change the values of some attributes and press the 
save button. it seems to me I need to do something when I press the edit EO 
button. I need to create a copy of the original EO to compare against. so that 
when the EO is actually saved, I can read that dictionary of the original EO.

then in my didUpdate() method I could create the email that includes the values 
of the original EO and the new updated values.
