This can currently only be achieved using a semi-automated
process.
It just came to my attention that I in fact forgot to update the
ARexx section of the md-2 documentation, but seeing that you are
a programmer the following steps ought to get you started and not
pose a problem:
Open the general preferences, select the buttons section and
click on the button that opens a popup-menu of all arexx commands
(i.e. that to the right of the "Action" string gadget).
This popup list contains a list of all available arexx commands
and their templates - scan for the "NewMsgWindow" entry.
The parameters to the command shold be pretty obvious, and
depending on which parameters you actually use you can end up
with a completely adressed and prepared message in a new message
window, so you will only need to click on the "Send/Queue"
button.

I don't know of a finished script, but all you need is a file
containing the email addresses (dynamically exporting them from
your user database would probably be a good idea here), parse
those into a variable in your script and use that variable as the
argument to the "TO" parameter of "NewMsgWindow".
Hope this helps a bit,
