Feature: ability for admin to send e-mail to signed up users

[paullj1]

Should have a form in the settings page that allows the admin to send an e-mail to all active users. Form should have two text areas:

Subject:
Message:

E-mail should prepend the subject with "[competition_name] ".

Here is a starting point that i found for this feature.

def send
@newsletter = Newsletter.find(:params['id'])
@recipients = Recipient.all
@recipients.each do |recipient|
Newsletter.newsletter_email(recipient, @newsletter).deliver
end
end

class Newsletter < ActionMailer::Base
default :from => "[email protected]", :content_type => "multipart/mixed"

def newsletter_email(recipient, newsletter)
# these are instance variables for newsletter view
@newsletter = newsletter
@recipient = recipient
mail(:to => recipient.email, :subject => newsletter.subject)
end
end

Yup! Logic isn't that difficult. It's more going to be implementing the view in the admin interface and creating the model to support it.
