Change default send an individual message to each recipient

How can you change the default check box: "send an individual message to each recipient" when composing a message >100 people?

By not being able to unclick this you get " one sent message for every person on the list."? This means you inbox fills up with unnecessary emails

Is the same message being sent out to all (or most) of the students in the course? If that's the case, I would simply create an Announcement. That might be a lot easier and just as effective.

But announcements only work if the course is Published. I need to send email before the first day of class and before the course is published. I want to prevent students inadvertently clicking "reply all" and accidentally sending (potentially) personal information to the whole class, including their email addresses.
