Thanks. I had lost that email. Anyway, I ended up using STSGMassMailer and it works great.
I copied the code from: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/STSGMassMailer
and called the file "SpecialMassMailer.php" and put it in the includes directory.
I then modified /includes/SpecialPages.php, adding this at line 74:
'MassMailer' => array( 'SpecialPage', 'MassMailer' ),
It now shows up on Special:Specialpages as
<massmailer>
I do have a couple questions:
Why is it surrounded in brackets?
When I try to access: Special:MassMailer or Special:massmailer
I get the page that says I've requested an invalid special page. But the list of special pages shows the <massmailer> at the top, so I think that although it works perfectly, I've omitted something?
Thanks.

I am the sysop and I'd like to be able to send a global email to all registered users when necessary.
