 Hi

 I have taken my time to report this to bug tracker, but in IMHO (and lots
 of other people I saw on the Internet) there should be a check box in the
 user creation panel whether to send an email upon user creation or NOT to
 send.

 I know the Wordpress people say it's more secure. This is not a change I
 welcome. Administrators should have the ability to choose whether or not a
 user is notified by email upon account creation.

 Personally I find that an insult that administrators (especially the good
 ones) cannot select this and now have to write some plugin to circumvent
 this.

 Further I do not like the email that is send out, it does make no sense
 whatsoever:
