The problem with it (pre-my hack) is that after each X# of emails sent, you... the admin.. would have to press the feckin' 'Do Next Page' buttton, over and over again.
For instance, if you were emailing 10,000 members, and you selected to send 500 emails at a time, you'd have to press that button 19 times! ... and to avoid having to endure that boredom of sitting there so long, one would most likely not choose to do a small (and more safe) group of users for each page, and would therefore choose a larger # like 500, which also increases your chances of a php timeout.
With my code... select 100, 20, 10.. heck.. even 5.. to send email to at a time. It wont matter. Once you start the process it will take care of itself until it's complete.
I suppose this is only an issue with admins who have large boards and like to email large groups (or all) of their users often.
