[NAME] - Name of the User
[USERNAME] - Username of the User
[DETAILS] - Account Details of the User such as Email Address and Username
[PASSWORD] - Password choosen by the User (only at the first email sent upon pressing "Register")
[CONFIRM] - Inserts confirmation link if the confirmation functionality is enabled
[FIELDNAME] - This will insert the value relative to the user who the email is addressed to. Just include the database field name of the field you want to include between [].
Is it (only at the first email sent upon pressing "Register") ? Doesn't it make more sense to allow inclusion:

i think it is not possible to send the password via email, unfortunately ..
Then my question to CB developer's would be why include it in the list of available options e.g.:
[NAME] - Name of the User
[USERNAME] - Username of the User

Is it (only at the first email sent upon pressing "Register") ? Doesn't it make more sense to allow inclusion:
- Anytime a site admin WANTS it included
- In the Welcome email? e.g. Welcome to our site, here's your details (email/user/password)
- etc

Thank you. Yes, I thought that was the case.
The thread however is innacurate in that MD5 CAN be decrypted, err, derived anyhow
md5.benramsey.com/ is a good place for this, but of course cannot decrypt most MD5's. Search for "MD5 Reverse Lookup" on google to find a whole skew of them.
Anyhow, back onto the topic, yes, it makes sense that it can only be sent in the first email then, as the servers with Joomla/CB installed don't quickly/readily/easily/efficiently (you name it) have the ability to obtain the password in plain view. I guess this makes more sense as to why "Forgotten Passwords" are auto-generated temps, rather than simply emailed.
