I realize I shouldn't use my UID1 account for day-to-day activities on my site, but I do and I just realized that my account isn't listed in the recipient list under Write a new mass mail (by user). Could someone else verify this? Could it be easily fixed? I really don't want to have to start using a different account because of this as it might confuse my users.

So you want to write a mass message with your UID1-user? No problem, you can do so.
You want that mass mail to be displayed as "sent by UID1-user" to the receipients? Just send the message with the UID1-user.
You want to send a message to yourself while being logged in as UID1-user? Hmm. Thats weird. You can see your sent mass messages in your privatemsg-sent box.

To make it clear to me: Is you bug report pointing towards the fast, that you can't send mass message _to_ the UID1-User? This is not a bug, its a feature ;-) As the uid1-User is the root of you drupal-installation and therefore should not be used in day-to-day work, I excluded this user from the possible receipients. You can see (and change it) in line 191 of the current module:

$res = db_query ('SELECT uid, name FROM {users} WHERE uid > 1 ORDER BY name');

Yes, this was my "bug" report. And I understand why you did it this way! :-) But thank you for providing me the line of code to fix it. I just adjusted it and got my desired results.
