This plugin or hack is no longer needed as the functionality it provides has been integrated directly into the b2evolution core or into another (bundled) plugin.
This plugin allows you to send emails to registered users. You can exclude users and groups, specify message encoding, send as text or/and HTML, attach files and receive detailed reports on selected email. Advanced users can use external emails source.
