Account Intro - a simple helper email module

This is a simple module I created which has a very simple premise. You've created a bunch of accounts for some people, and you want them to be able to easily access their account, without you having to know their passwords. You didn't want the users to be notified right away on account creation, for many possible reasons. Maybe it was a development site that you needed to test your user imports, maybe you needed to finish up some quick stuff first, who knows.

So what this module does is allows you to customize a 'welcome to your account' type email in the settings page. You can then go to the user/user menu, where this module has a hook into the user operations drop down. Select which users you want to include, and send them an email, it's that easy.

It doesn't do anything automatically, it requires action on your part. However it does greatly simplify the user experience for finding the site, and logging on for the first time.

Only thing it lacks is a 'send an introduction to every user' which is probably a good thing since you may click it by accident!

Anyway, you are welcome to check it out. I'm not including it on Drupal.org since I just won't have the time to maintain it. If someone else wants to take it over, that's fine with me.
