Mass PM's Mod

[Aries-Belgium]

I couldn't find an existing mod/plugin to send the same pm to several users, so I modded the private.php file to do that (see attachment). I putted // ####... after each line I changed or added.
To be able to enter more names (seperated by ,) in the to input, you will have to edit the private_send template and delete the maxvalue of the "to" input field.
You will alsa have to add this line somewhere in your messages.language.php:

$l['error_pmerror'] = "An error has occured when sending one or more personal messages:";
