I'm sorry to report that there is no internal capability in TWiki for this as yet. You can create a simple table that list all users with other information (including email addresses) which you could copy into a spreadsheet to do an email-merge or otherwize extract a member email list.

| *WikiName* | *FirstName* | *LastName* | *City* | *State* | *Zip* | *Country* | *Email* |
%SEARCH{"FORM.name\=.*UserForm" type="regex" web="Users" nonoise="on" format="| $web.$topic  | <noautolink>$formfield(FirstName)   | $formfield(LastName)   | $formfield(City)   | $formfield(State)   | $formfield(Zip)   | $formfield(Country)</noautolink>   | $percntUSERINFO{\"$topic\" format=\"$emails\"}$percnt   |"}%

I would also restrict this topic to be viewable only by TWikiAdminGroup.

Thanks for your help. We have no web called Users so I replaced it by Main but now it works fine. In addition, I skipped everything except email so I only get the email addresses. Afterwards, I can copy these addresses into my mail.
