Problem

When User Account creation is set to Admin verification, Joomla sends a mail to user when his account has been created.
And when an admin has activated the account, user get another mail about this.

Reason

These mails are hardcoded in the language file, and it is hard or impossible to ensure that the activation link in the mail leads to a page using the correct template.

Suggestion

It should be possible to set up customized verification pages per user group.
And these mails should be editable in the editor and be sent as HTML posts to facilitate images and styling.

Reason

We may have (I do) different user groups (members, customers, clients) and they all need different information when signing up.

You can do this using language overrides: https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

Overrides only allow me to create another mail, but how can I make different mails for different groups?
I don't think overrides can do that? Neither will it allow me to choose a specific template, I think?

And I still cannot make HTML mails that look nice.

Confirmed.

We need to move the mail part from this:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/components/com_users/models/registration.php#L54

and this:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/components/com_users/models/registration.php#L387

methods out to plugins. So you can just disabled that plugin and implement your own registration mail handling.
