'Account activated' email not sent if new user manually removed from pre-auth role

Hi

My users are able to set their own password, and I use the 'Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required' option. I also have the 'account activated' email enabled.

As the site admin, I can click the validation link in my notification email when a new user joins. This moves the new user from the pre-authorized role and they receive 'account activated' email no problem.

But if I don't click the email link and manually change the user's role, they never receive the 'account activated' email.

The LT help says this:

In order for a site administrator to unblock a user who is awaiting administrator approval, they must either click on the validation link they receive in their notification e-mail, or manually remove the user from the site's pre-authorized role -- afterwards the user will then receive 'authenticated user' permissions. In either case, the user will receive an account activated e-mail if it's enabled on the user settings page

So it's only sending the email in the first case, not the second..?

Thanks
