Sending multiple draft emails with one click

Question
-
If I create multiple email activities in crm 2011 from either a campaign or in my case from a workflow, and they are saved as draft because I may or may not want to check them before sending. Is there any way to select multiple draft emails and just send them without having to go into each one to click send?
I've tried changing the status to pending send with a workflow but this doesnt work.
Does anyone have any other possible solutions?

Hello Matt,
I'm afraid this would not work without additional development. I can see several ways out with development:
1. Create button on grid toolbar which will send selected elmails using JavaScript.
2. Create Custom Workflow activity which will send emails using SDK, create workflow with this custom workflow action and run this workflow for all required emails.
