Once in a while I do send my members an email using the "mail users" option in the admin panel. I do check the selection to only send the mail to users that do want to receive such an email. However: after selecting that I get a number of users that will receive the email. That number is right. After pressing the send button the first 100 of selected members get the message. But then things go wrong: when the second page comes up, suddenly all my members are on the list to receive the email. Which is frustrating for both me and my mebers. Does anyone have a clue what causes it and how I can solve it?
Using 2.0.13

Seems to be a bug, could you Report it here so we don't forget about it?

Thanks.

OK, done.

Thanks. We'll look into it. Can't promise anything over the weekend, but definitely for the next release.

OK, no prob

Same problem here in one of my customers, but I can't update because the core has been hacked (I knew this would bring back problems later, but orders are orders).

So I'm thinking about updating just the "mail to users" script... I know what you're thinking, yes, this customer is making me do things the difficult way. But before doing it, I need to know:

IS this bug fixed in current version?

If not, I'll have to fix it myself. I hate touching the core, but this site's core can't be updated, so what the hell...

Anybody?

What the...?

In XOOPS 2.0.16 the problem seems fixed, but i find the beahavior a bit "wrong":

That is, I send a message:

· To all registered users: OK.
· To all members belonging to registered, admin or subadministrator group: OK
· To users accepting webmaster notifications: OK

· Only to users of the admin group accepting webmaster notifications: WRONG!!! The mail is sent to every registered user, not just those of the admin group.

This is a VERY WRONG idea, the "accept notification" should not override all others. Period. At least, not the groups selection. Suppose you have two levels among users, the usual registered user and some sort of "platinum usergroups", with special access to some sections, or stuff like that.

Suppose you want to mail the platinum and ONLY the platinum group, but don't want to bother those that don't want to receive webmaster's advices.

You have the tools to mail them at once, you have the tools to select just one group, you have the option to select to bother only those that accept to be bothered, you send your message AND EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY WRONG, message arrive to lots of people that are not interested in your platinum stuff, or much worse, THEY RECEIVE AN INFO THEY SHOULD NOT READ.

Suppose your message is a commercial offer just for platinum members, something exceptional and "off the record", and it arrives to every regular user.

If you're jsut the webmaster and not the owner of the site, then you're about to be full of #OOPS#.
