 * This plugin sends a plaintext password to the user when they’ve been approved.
   Is there a reason to not use the built-in `wp_new_user_notification` function?

 * Hi I really also want to know how I can change the plugin to just send the default
   Welcome Email to the user when he is approved, where the user gets to pick an
   own password.
 * I tried doing it but it doesn’t work. I added this in the functions.php:
 *     ```
       // modify the default registration message
       function send_welcome_mail() {
        wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, $deprecated, $notify = 'both');
       }
   
       add_filter( 'new_user_approve_approve_user_message_default', 'send_welcome_mail' );
       ```
   
 * I am using the hook that is provided by this plugin, but the default mail is 
   not sent.
    How can I achieve that?
 * Best,
 * Jonas

 * Did you find out how to modify the approval e-mail?
