[Zope-CMF] Send email to all CMF members

[Todd Graham]

Thanks everyone for your replies, I was able to take the suggestions from
the list and convert it to python and add it to the newsitem_edit script.
The code looks something like

if condition to see if mail should be sent if yes excecute

for item in context.portal_membership.listMembers():
     if item.email != '':
        context.mail_newsitem(recipient=item.email, description=description)

Thanks again everyone, the portal_membership.listMembers() was the key to
it.  I'd like to get it out of the for loop and just pass one argument to
the method mail_newsitem rather than using the loop.  Good thing it's
raining today :)

Todd
