Default hack request : extra 'email users' feature

in the admin tool you have the nice ability to email all your users at once.

what would be cool if this tool was expanded upon to increase its functionality with at least one extra feature.

to be able to use it as a more useful email engine, how hard would it be to put in a 'exlude users' box so that you could enter a list of email addresses for people that DONT want to receive any newsletters/emails that the admin plans to send out.

:bunny: :bunny:

what do you guys think? hard to implement?

But they can select that they don't want to receive email from admins in their options....

I allways put a line at the bottom of the email saying how members can stop getting the email, they are the ones that have made the choice to accept it and providing details of how to stop the mailings is more than enough IMO.

I agree, that I would say is the best option as its ultimately up to them to sort out their settings.
