Simple Automation of 'Email Users' - 'Do Next Page' Button

Well, this is a _very_ small hack.. and will take 1 minute, with one file change.

Basically, when using 'Email Users' from the Admin CP, I got REALLY annoyed with having to keep scrolling down and clicking on the 'Do Next Page' button. This _really_ should have been something automated from the start. SO...

This or similar should work on any version, it basically just uses javascript to submit the form 'name' automatically once the page has fully loaded. From my experience, this tends to work once you have submitted the first page manually.

is there a way to put a delay on each page. the server load goes crazy when i email 50 members at a time since there is over 18k members. i thought if i could put a 1 minute delay between loading the next page it might help??? any ideas

I havent done that.... but I'd imagine you could create a function for a small timer and the submit in javascript to create the delay.

perfect hack - i have 42,000 users and i always had issues with timeouts and had to basically sit there all day when doing a mail list

Now i mail 50 at a time (812 pages) and it did it fully auto - thanks
