customizable emails

[jessica6]

When a new user registers, an email is sent acknowledging the registration.  Depending on the default language (english in my case), the text of this email is defined in this file:

~/Themes/default/languages/Login.english.php

It would be nice to be able to customize this.  I know I can edit this file, but perhaps a web interface into the contents of the text might be worth considering.

To avoid spammers, I'd like the new registrants to be told to reply to this email with some info about themselves, and where they heard about my forums.  This saves me the trouble of manually asking for the information.  If I don't hear anything back in a week, I delete the user.

Love the forum software!  Much better than phpBB.

I agree.  I also asked about a mod that would permit email a member before he is approved but it seems to be hard or no interest until now.

Hmm... this shouldn't be too hard to do at all. If you want, you could simply take a look at how the editing of index.template.php is done already, and use that to do Login.english.php.

Even if this isn't include in SMF by default, it wouldn't be all that difficult to do as a mod either.
