Hi Antonitus -
No, not confusing at all!
The short answer is no. Form Tools 2 doesn't have any mass email functionality, so it would need to be developed as a separate module, or have an external script incorporated as a module. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I'm next looking for new modules to work on.
In terms of immediate solutions, you may want to consider finding and installing a separate newsletter script. I confess I don't know any good ones off hand, but they must exist (!). Any script worth its mettle will be able to input existing mailing lists from various formats, so you can create a View that would either generate the email information in a file, say, then use that to be inputted into the newsletter script.
This is hardly a 1-step solution unfortunately, but perfectly do-able.
Sorry I couldn't be more help!
