Prevent/change content of email sent to user when they change their email address

[jogwen]

Currently an user changing their email address prompts the sending of another "click here to confirm your email address" email which is not right as the account is already activated. Either prevent this email notification, or change its content. Ideally it should be sent to the old email address asking them to confirm that they approve of it being changed to the new email address.

Confirm your e-mail address is not "Activate your account".
If a user change the e-mail address, than I guess he/she has to confirm it
again.

Does not make sense?

I changed it a bit so that the user has to activate their user account by
clicking a link in the email. Only then can they log in. I did this so that
we could be sure that they can use password reset and receive email
notifications etc (otherwise they could put any old email address in).

For clarity, activating an email account is not the same as approving a
participant. Approving a participant allows the participant/events to be
shown on the website. Activating an email account allows user to log in.

I agree that it does make sense that they have to confirm it again if they
change email address, it's just that at the moment in my local branch I've
changed that email template so that it refers to activating their user
account, so I either have to roll that change back so that it works for
both initial account activation and changing email address on an existing
account, or provide an alternative email text for the latter ... although I
think it's a little broken at the moment anyway because it changes the
email address in the database before sending the confirmation email to the
new email address, which I don't think is right on several counts:

• why send an email to confirm a change of email address to the new email
  address?
• why change the email address before sending the email to get confirmation?

I think it should be sent to the old email address asking them to confirm
that they approve of it being changed to the new email address, and once
they've confirmed then the email address in the database could be changed
to the new one.
