Recommend me an extension for my problem?

Using Joomla 1.5 / VM1. Our client requires all customer data to be accessible easily so that they can send bulk e-mails to clients. He wants their e-mail address as well as all other details registered for each customer.

The current method is to go through each user on VM1 and copy down their details manually. There are over 500 users so he'd like it to be done automatically. Is there an extension/method to do this please? Thanks in advance.

1st... I would upgrade to 3.xx.xx ASAP..
2nd... I would have him send you the body of the message that he wants to send to users, then you send (mass mail) it from the back end, or is that asking too much of you?

[jimleeder123]

Its not asking too much, but he's going to be wanting to do it regularly and probably to do it himself. Know any extensions?

As for upgrading to newer Joomlas - our server isn't compatiable with J3 and we're having problems with the e-mails on J2.5 so until then at least this website will stay on 1.5.

I don't know of any known extensions off hands because I haven't had the need for this type of feature on the front end by a user because people tend to hate getting mass mails on a regular basis lol. Half the time nobody reads it after awhile, but check out
extensions.joomla.org | I'm sure you'll find something there...

Ok I'll wait and see if anyone can come up with an idea/extension
