    What is the difference between “registered blog users” (per the descriptive highlights about your plugin) and general users? I have a WP/BuddyPress site running and I need to reach all members of my BuddyPress site, which end up being all users in my WP install.

    Secondly, as Admin I am the only one that I want to be given the ability to email everyone. Is there a way to prevent users/members from sending broadcast emails?

    Thank you for the answers to these questions. It will help me determine if I can use your plugin.

    What Email Users does when constructing the header is the following:

    global $user_identity, $user_email, $user_ID;

	get_currentuserinfo();
	$from_name = $user_identity;
	$from_address = $user_email;

    get_currentuserinfo() loads the global variables per the Codex.

    Thanks @mike Walsh.

    So if I were to change:

    $from_name = $user_identity;

    to

    $from_name = $user_email;

    it looks like that would solve my problem. Agree? Is there a filter or do_action I can apply to my themes’ functions script or do I have to hardcode my change? If hardcode, can you point me to the script file that contains the relational setting?

    Thanks @MikeWalsh.

    No, I don’t think it will make any difference at all because it appears that your mail server (or possibly PHP’s mmail interface) is modifying the header after the call to wp_mail().

    Did you enable debugging and take a look at the mail header? I’d be curious to see what it says. If you want to mail it to me, use my WordPress username at gmail dot com. I’ll be on a plane for the next 5 hours so I will be offline for a while.
