  Thanks Sergiu - I didn't realise that the interval
wasn't set by 
 default - its not as clear as it could be in the documentation - 
 perhaps users should be warned in a popup message when they set a 
 watch on a page and the interval hasn't been set to remind them? 
Yes, this is an annoying bug, it should be fixed by default. So, setting an
interval did solve the problem, right?

...
  As for the other issue with sharing a page .... Then
I'll just have to 
 upgrade to the latest Xwiki.

 Thanks again

 Richard

 {{html wiki=true}}
 <form action="" method="post">
    <input name="action" value="send_mail" type="hidden"
/>
     ## this is a honey-pot hidden text field hat hopefully robots 
 will not leave empty
    <div class="hidden">
    <input name="lastname" type="text" />
    </div>
    <fieldset>
       **TO:**<br />
      <input type="text" name="recipient" /><br />
       **SUBJECT:**<br />
      <input type="text" name="subject" /><br />
       **MESSAGE:**<br />
      <textarea name="message" style="width:99%;" rows=10>Your
test 
 message here.</textarea>
    </fieldset>
    <div>
      <span class="buttonwrapper"><input type="submit"
class="button"
 value="Send" /></span>
    </div>
 </form>
 {{/html}}
 #else
 {{error}}Oops. Area restricted to Admins, sorry.{{/error}} #end 
 {{/velocity}}

 BUT ..... in my XWiki wiki (I have the latest version) when I select 
 to email a wiki page and press the Send button nothing seems to 
 happen (I assume the email dialog should close when you press the 
 Send button and an email should be sent), also when adding a Watch on 
 the wiki or wiki page and the page is changed then no email is sent 
 to the user who has put the watch on the page .... does anyone know 
 why the emails  aren't getting sent????

 For the watch problem, check that the user has selected a valid 
 watchlist interval, since by default all users have the watchlist emailer
disabled.
...
  You can do that by going to your profile, and editing
the preferences 
 on the Watchlist tab.

  Having the facility to email a wiki page and to
watch wiki pages 
 would certainly help get more people to use our wiki.

 Any clues for fixing this would be most appreciated!

 Thanks.

 Richard
