[Inbox] Email (message) multiple classes at one time

Instructors often want, or are asked, to share news and information of importance to all our classes.  Currently, that means copying and pasting that information into anywhere from 2-5 different classes.  Given that there is a drop down box for choosing a class to message currently, adding the ability to select multiple classes seems like it would be an easy "fix".  Please add this capability ASAP.

Problem statement:

There are times when I need to send the same message to all of my students. It requires several steps to send the same email to students in multiple Canvas shells as I have had 6 or more Canvas shells at once in past terms.

Proposed solution:

Add the option to send the same message to multiple Canvas shells. This would cut down on the steps and amount of time it takes to communicate with students. It would be a step toward lifting a barrier to communication.
