 I don't understand why you think you "need" this behavior.  What is it
 that you can't do with the existing behavior?

 And spamming one of my own email accounts or that of a fake one is no
 solution.
  * It doesn't address the fundamental problem of sending unsolicited
 emails.
  * It creates more work for later, as you have to change the emails to
 real ones.
  * In the case of fake emails, it adds more to the universal spam problem.

 > btw: when someone registers themself, or the admin/auth. user registers
 a new user via wp-login.php, then the e-mail get´s send in every case.
 there´s no check box, so i think the behavior should simply be the same.

 It's not the same behavior.  When ''I'' initiate an action on a server, I
 reasonably expect a response to ''me''. I do not expect it to respond to
 ''you''.

 senseless applications with a mail that contains login-information.

 The issue is expected behavior.  I don't expect to send emails to others
 unknowingly.  They do not expect to receive them.  That's how the
 "netiquette" of email works.
