[rt-users] ShowMessageStanza callback with 3.8.0 + html escaping on output text

[David Sitsky]

Ok - perhaps the wiki is out of date.  I've managed to do this using a 
Custom MakeClicky action as specified here: 
http://www.l2c2.co.in/rt-3.8.0/docs/extending_clickable_links.pod.

Guess the wiki should be updated..
