+		// the user info will be set twice, but this ensures any third party modules settings will be kept (such as those of tac_lite)

Whats all that? We don't reference contrib modules in core and how is the surrounding code related to this?

Sorry about the rouge comment. That was really a note to myself. My initial intent was to just run the new user function, but I found that since the action was taken from an edit screen I had to do both the new user function as well as the edit function. I've edited the patch. There are now only 1 changed line a 8 inserted.

I'm glad there is quality control in the code. I hope this is a better patch.

I don't suppose this patch made it in. I find it very useful. +1

It doesn't look like it made it in. It seems like a huge oversite for our admin approval only site. The way that our accounts get added, when people request an account we don't want to send them login info, just a thank you and please stand by. Then we send them a welcome message when we activate their account. Also if we are adding people by hand we want to be able to leave the password fields blank and have the password auto generate. (I don't know if I ever posted that patch)

Anyway it's pretty much a requirement for an admin approval only site in my opinion. :)
Thanks - Jamie.

sorry, but we dont add new features to released drupal versions.
this means no new feature for drupal 4.7 and drupal 5 does not accept them, too
so you have to wait for drupal 6...

btw. the patch has to be compatible to drupal HEAD

Well, I manually applied it and it worls fine.

The patch is out by about 20 lines. Would better if this were simply an option in the 'admin/user/user' page so you could filter users and then resend on mass, as I need to do due to the mail server being hostile to any PHP sent mail due to increase in spam prevention measure.

Seems like this could still be a useful feature—doesn't look like this is in 7.x yet.

As a workaround, you can deactivate and re-activate the user(s) account(s). Reactivating it will re-send the activation welcome message.
