//One of the great things about Mvvmlight, the Messenger 🙂 you could to object and .ToString() in this method too.

public static void SendTo(this string input, MessengerToken token){

Enum.GetValues(typeof (MessengerToken)).Cast<MessengerToken>().ToList().Where(e => token.HasFlag(e)).ToList().ForEach(e =>

{

Messenger.Default.Send<string>(input, e);});

}
