Fairly often we as moderators need to contact the community (employee) team through e-mail for something or another, most recently disassociating a user's post. Currently we e-mail community@stackexchange.com and if we remember to cc our fellow mods.
It would be better if we had a moderator tool that sent an e-mail to the user and notified our fellow mods similar to how they are for a mod message to a user.
