WP Plugin: Send Private Email Lets you send emails to your blog users from your admin screen. I can see this being really useful for multi-author blogs (though there is a large possibility of abuse).

Mark,
Blog admins already have access to the email addresses of their registered users. So far they had to manually extract the emails, one by one, and paste them in an email program.
This plugin simply allows them to stay in touch with them very easily. All they have to do is type in the email. 😉
Can you please explain how you see the possibility of this being abused? Perhaps the plugin can be improved to reduce this risk.
Thanks.
I agree that there is no obvious possibility of this plugin being abused. It makes life a lot easier for blog admins and helps authors stay informed. If an author truly believed that he was being molested by receiving emails, he can just login and change his email address or he marks the email as spam to prevent future delivery….
