I can't believe this has to be done as a hack, so I'm asking straight out - where is it possible to edit the Welcome Email templates? If I ever get listed on my sites license, then I'll be using the Welcome PMs hack for useful 'intro' information, but for now I just want to make the welcome email a little bit more special.

I searched high and low, but there doesn't appear to be an option or a template, or am I missing something really obvious :confused:

I'm all hung up trying to restore our lost website, but it dawned on me today that I really have to improve the sign up experience if I am going to keep alleria healthy.

Edit phrase "welcomemail". It's not a template. But phrases are just as powerful.
