thanks for flagging this. As a practical thought, is this also valid for admins (probably not). Otherwise you could either ask an admin to do it for you, or ask temporary admin status.�
There is hard limit on sending e–mails set at 20 messages per day (5 for non–autoconfirmed users); administrators are exempted from that limit (via the 'noratelimit' user right).
There are three ways to solve that problem that come to my mind right now: (1) you can ask an admin to send the e–mails for you, (2) you can ask a bureaucrat to grant you the 'bot' flag, (3) you can ask a steward to grant you the 'accountcreator' flag.
Asking for temporary adminship just to send a couple of e–mails is way too much hassle.
