Agreed this would be a good feature. I would prefer this to the ability for people to email my members directly, for them only to be able to send them private messages and then have the private messaging system email the user to tell them they have a message waiting. Especially as I have had a recent incident of someone abusing my mailing system.

Also, it would be great if there was a facility for admins only (i.e. me) to send a private message to *every* registered user.
