+Trac supports basic notification for ticket changes using email. 
+
+Email notification is useful to keep users up-to-date on tickets/issues of interest, and also provides a convenient way to post ticket changes to a dedicated mailing list. '''Note:''' As an example, this is how the [http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac-tickets/ Trac-tickets] mailing list works.

+Disabled by default, notification can be activated and configured in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini].
 
 == Receiving Notification ==
