Detail

This has been brought to my knowledge by an user of one of my recent installations, but until now I've been to lazy to follow up: We had a TemplateLogin in place, no login names ({Register}{AllowLoginName} = $FALSE;). and finally, {AntiSpam}{HideUserDetails} = 1;. After registering, he received a mail saying Login as "0".

I can easily reproduce this. The root cause is that the mail text is composed in a session which does not really belong to the user who is about to register. It can either be guest, or as well any authenticated (probably unprivileged) user who visited the registration page to register someone else. Therefore, it doesn't work to use %USERINFO{}% for variable substitution in the configuration mail: It doesn't expand anything unless an administrator performs the registration.

Also to be handled under this item: The same welcome message contains a note If you got this e-mail by mistake: Somebody ([_1]) registered at the [_2] site using your mail address [_3]. The inserts [_1] and [_3] are filled with data from the registration form. For [_1], this is just wrong when someone in an authenticated session (as in case 2 above) did the registration.

In both cases, either the registration code itself has to do the substitution outside of the usual TWiki variable expansion, or the expansion of %USERINFO{}% needs yet another special case to handle. I'm not sure which is uglier.
