Thanks for the tip. I added instructions for using the extension to
the page here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/STSGMassMailer
It should make the task much easier for the next user, which is part
of the point!
Now if I only knew why it shows up on Special:Specialpages as
<massmailer>
But it works great.

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.
