Send an email to registered users.

==Description==
The Mass Mail screen allows Users who are members of the "Super Administrator" group to send an email message to registered users for the site. Users can be selected based on groups.

==How to access==
Select '''Users → Mass Mail Users''' from the drop-down menu on the Back-end of your Joomla! installation.

==Details and Message==
*'''Mail to Child Groups.''' Whether or not to send the Email to members of all child groups of the selected group. For example, if this box is checked and the "Public" group is selected, the email would be sent to all users, since all groups are child groups of "Public".
*'''Send in HTML mode.''' Whether or not to send the Email with headers that identify it as an HTML document. Email clients that support this will render any HTML codes.
*'''Send to Disabled Users.''' If checked, disabled users will be included when sending mail.
*''' Recipients as BCC.''' If checked, all recipients will be included as BCC entries, so none will see any of the other recipients' Email addresses. Because many mail routers treat Email without a ''To:'' entry as spam, the site email will be used for the ''To:'' entry.
*'''Group.''' Select the groups you want to send the Email to.
*'''Subject''' Enter the Subject of the Email. Try to make it as descriptive as possible. Any text entered in the ''Subject Prefix'' parameter in Options ([[S:MyLanguage/Help4.x:Components_Users_Configuration#Mass_Email|User Options &rarr; Mass Mail]]) will be placed in front of the subject you enter here.
*'''Message.''' Enter the body of the Email. Any text entered in the ''Mailbody Suffix'' parameter in Options ([[S:MyLanguage/Help4.x:Components_Users_Configuration#Mass_Email|User Options &rarr; Mass Mail]]) will be added to the text you enter here.

==Toolbar==

At the top of the page you will see the toolbar shown in the Screenshot above. The functions are:

*'''Send email'''. Send the email and return to the main Mass Mail screen

*'''Cancel'''. Closes the current screen and returns to the previous screen without saving any modifications you may have made.

*'''Options.''' Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters can be edited.

*'''Help'''. Opens this help screen.

|-
| [[S:MyLanguage/Help4.x:Users_Access_Levels_Edit|Users Access Levels Edit]] || Access levels control which users can view which objects on your site. Objects include menu items, modules, categories, and component items (articles, contacts, and so on). Each object in the site is assigned to one access level. User groups are also assigned to each access level.
If a user is a member of a group that in turn has permission for an access level, then that user can view all objects assigned to that access level. It is important to understand that user groups can be arranged in a parent-child hierarchy. If so, then a child group has access to all access levels that the parent group has access to. So you don't need to assign a child group access to levels that its parent group already has access to.
