I'm looking for what (I think) this code does. How do you use it with the Email Users plugin? We have a store with customers and subsets of those will have the same pickup address for their orders. We want to be able to email those customers by pickup location (which is stored in a user_meta field).
I wrote this as an example for getting the Emails Users plugin to grab meta data and use it to create a group mailing based upon that. This has Ben done for Email Users v4.4.4
Take a look at one of my other gists for the plugin used by Email Users to set this.
