Looking for feature: e-mail/PM and post new thread simultaneously
 

One thing I was disappointed to find missing was something akin to a feature Simple Machines has: the ability to e-mail/PM [select] users at the same time you make a new thread. I found this incredibly handy for disseminating important information to individuals who didn't frequent my board often. I'm wondering if anyone knows of either something I missed within vBulletin or if there's a module I can install that fills in this gap. Thank you in advance!
