Extension talk:EmailUsers

Can I pass parameters to this?

I'd like to be able to use this to send e-mail automatically. Can I incorporate this into a form to send an e-mail when it finishes?

I would also be interested in Fustbariclation's functionality request. Thanks.

It would be nice, I agree. My conclusion has been that it'll be safer to use a mailing list address. I'm going to create a user from that address so, when an e-mail is sent from the watchlist it goes to the right users.

I'm thinking of putting some logic on the mail server to clean up the message a bit, but I'll do some more experimenting on the easy way first.

Special Page not Working

Hm, the special page is broken for me, using MW 1.16.0 --Mevans86 22:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Same here on MW 1.16.2

1.16.5 also. A way to use it: replace the original SpecialEmailUsers.php to below. But be careful of it, cause we'll never get a real error.--Liuyanghejerry 03:18, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I wrote this extension for MW 1.16.x initially, however someone updated code to make it work with MW 1.17 but broke b/c. Liangent 04:35, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
