Hi,
We can do a mass mailing to all our user but we never do it: sending 10000 mails
is not a good option.
What we can easily do is to post a news item on the front page. Less people read
it than a mail, sure, but I think it can help.
Interested? If so, can you provide a little explanation we can copy/paste +
quote, with links?
