XF 2.1 How can I send out a test "registration" email?

[PumpinIron]

Is there an easy way to send out a test "registration" email?

I'm playing around with HTML in my email, and rather than having to register dummy users each time I want to test the changes in the email, I'm looking for an easy way to send the email out so I can test it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

• use another emailaddress of yourself to register
• use a trash-mail-address to register

So in other words, I have to create a dummy account every time I want to send out a test email.

There ought to be a "test" feature built-in.

Yes.

For anyone else trying to figure this one out who hits it on Google.

ACP > Communication > Message/Email User and send to yourself

OK, but this doesn't include the text of the registration-mail.

Either copy / paste your welcome email/conversation from here to test: https://yourdomain.com/community/admin.php?options/groups/usersAndRegistration/

OR

from one of the 3 below phrases:
user_account_approved_body_html
user_account_rejected_body_html
user_email_confirmation_body_html

Run them through either Message Users (to test Conversations), or Email Users (to test emails HTML Code). You can even just go as far as Preview and not even send it.

At least that's how I work around it.
