EDIT: Please see bottom of this post for info on how you can help me test this mod pre-release!
I just started dev on a requested mod which enables you to email board information and 'last 10 posts' and things like that.
Whilst at it, I was thinking it could incorporate optional HTML Email.
Another feature I was thinking would be 'Newsletter' functionality. You could run the mod in 'spam mode' if you wished, or only for people that have signed up for your newsletter, or only for people who have not visited the forum for over a month etc.
What do you guys think? Any other features that would be worth coding in?

- Switchable HTML / Plain Text Email Format
- Subscribe / Unsubscribe, default 'subscribed' on signup

If you are interested in testing the code yourself (this wont be until I am happy with it!) then please apply for the usergroup 'Beta Testers' and I will distribute the code that way.
Cheers to everyone who has already offered to help.
