Question

I do not have TWiki installed. I am evaluating different engines. How can a registered TWiki user post or send a message to all other registered users?

I am not sure, if you are on the right track: TWiki is not intended as a mailing platform. In fact one idea of a Wiki is to have less mails and more collaboration in the Wiki.

Interested users can get mail notifications on changes of topics or (the way I like most) can get an RSS feed on the changes in a web.

I do not see what you would want this feature for. Maybe to allow an admin to emit maintenance info? This is not a feature of the TWiki core engine, but I guess one could code a plugin/addon to add this feature if wanted.

Here's a search which I've used in a restricted web to provide me (the administrator) with a complete list of users' email addresses which I can copy and paste into an email. Note that this search would only work for a member of the TWikiAdminGroup as they are the only ones who can use the USERINFO variable.

%SEARCH{"%META:FORM.*[U]serForm" web="%MAINWEB%" regex="on" nonoise="on" format="$percntUSERINFO{format=\"$emails\"}$percnt" separator=", "}%
