Pre-requisites
This extension was tested with MediaWiki 1.6.7 and Mediawiki 1.8.2.

Installation
Get the source via SVN.

In your MediaWiki LocalSettings.php, add the following line some place towards the bottom of the file:

require_once("$IP/extensions/FormatEmail/FormatEmail.php");

Configuration
Simply change email_header and email_footer in FormatEmail.php.

Bugs and enhancements
Bugs or feature requests can be sent to the author at travis @ wikihow.com.

It would be nice to add the ability to add HTML to perhaps wrap a template around the message, but UserMailer.php would have to be modified first to allow some extra headers to be passed in.
