== Description ==

Multi-author blogs: Plugin generates mailto links on the dashboard referring to all user groups of the blog. Quite handy way of internal staff communication.

**Features:**

* Mailto links can address any of group admins, editors, authors, contributors and subscribers based on current user's role.
* User roles: Subscribers can address admins only. Contributors can address editors and admins. Authors can address authors, editors and admins. Editors and admins can address all users.
* Duplicate mail addys are removed.
* BCC mail if recipients contain subscribers (-> privacy!).
* Multi-language, see [notes](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailtostaff/other_notes/).

Nothing further.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the mailto-staff folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

== Screenshots ==

2. WP 2.6
3. Default mail
4. BCC mail if recipients contain subscribers (-> privacy!)

Plugin makes use of WordPress' language files and therefore doesn't need separate localization.
