==How to access==
Select '''Tools &rarr; Mass Mail''' from the drop-down menu on the Back-end of your Joomla! installation.

==Description==
The Mass Mail screen allows Users who are members of the "Super Administrator" group to send an e-mail message to all Users who are members of a specific group.

==Details==
*'''Mail to Child Groups.''' Whether or not to send the E-mail to members of all child groups of the selected group. For example, if this box is checked and the group "Public Front-end" is selected, the e-mail would be sent to all members of the "Registered", "Author", "Editor" and "Publisher" groups.
*'''Send in HTML mode.''' Whether or not to send the E-mail with headers that identify it as an HTML document. E-mailclients that support this will render any HTML codes.
*'''Group.''' Select the group you want to send the E-mail to.
*''' Recipients as BCC. Adds copy to site email.''' If checked, all recipients will be included as BCC entries, so none will see any of the other recipients' E-mailaddresses. Because many mail routers treat E-mail without a ''To:'' entry as spam, the site email will be used for the ''To:'' entry.
*'''Subject''' Enter the Subject of the E-mail. Try to make it as descriptive as possible. Any text entered in the ''Subject Prefix'' parameter (see [[#Global Configuration|Global Configuration]] below) will be prepended to (placed in front of) the subject you enter here.
*'''Message.''' Enter the body of the E-mail. Any text entered in the ''Mailbody Suffix'' parameter (see [[#Global Configuration|Global Configuration]] below) will be added to the text you enter here.

==Global Configuration==
This pop-up screen is shown when the User clicks the 'Parameters' button on the Toolbar. Press the Save button to save any changes or Cancel to cancel any changes.

*'''Subject Prefix.''' Enter a prefix to be prepended to the Subject of every mass E-mail. This is intended to contain some site identifier, for example, the site name.
*'''Mailbody Suffix.''' Enter a suffix to be appended to the body of every mass E-mail. This is intended to be used as a site signature.

==Toolbar==
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
