Emailing a group - could we have a single click from a list/report?
It would be absolutely fantastic to be able to do the same for a group of contacts (assmebled via a list/report) as you can for an individual - i.e. to be able to click on a 'mail-to:' link that loads all their email addresses into your default mail app - in my case Gmail!
For simple group emails, that's a much more efficient process than something like MailChimp (we use MadMimi - any chance of integrating with them one day too?!)...
It's entirely possible that Mail-to: doesn't allow multiple addresses, but is there another way? For example, clicking loads the list of comma-delimited emails onto the clipboard for pasting into the email app?
This would hugely increase our useage of Batchbook - and our likelihood of taking out a paid account - we're thinking about it at the moment!
Thanks for the site so far - we're enjoying getting to know it...

Inappropriate?Hi Richard -
Thanks so much for the question and idea. I very much like the way you are thinking and have put it into the queue for the team to chew on. I'll keep you updated on the progress. Please let us know if you have any other feedback.
I’m liking the idea

Inappropriate?Thanks Pamela
Just to add a bit more detail...
We're a rapidly growing church and are looking to use tags - for example - to show which volunteer teams or groups different people are in.
If I want to send a quick email to all the leaders of one of our Sunday School agegroups (eg the under-10's), I really can't face copying and pasting all those email addresses, or exporting the list into CSV, opening it in OpenOffice and then copying them into Gmail...
...nor am I going to put a posh newsletter together in MadMimi.
What I want is a simple "send email to list" button - it would be a superb new feature and make this a 'must use' for people like us.
Thanks for being willing to think it through... even if we just end up with a "click to copy email addresses onto clipboard", then I'd be a happy man!
Let me know when it gets to the head of the queue!
I’m glad to be listened to! Thanks!

Inappropriate?Thanks, again, Richard. We actually had a similar suggestion recently on our forums at http://forums.batchblue.com/forums/7/... I'll get the priority bumped up on it since it seems like it will really help a number of people out. Will keep you updated. Thanks for being so detailed in your request!
I’m excited for the detailed request
