[TYPO3-english] Fesuer_register - registration with confirmation e-mail works not for some users

[Mark Johnston]

Adrienn, 

As it happens, I just now encountered the situation that causes the problem you wrote about. I think the problem is in how different email readers interpret and respond to plain text hyperlinks. In the case of the Typo3 FE User registration email, the hyperlink contains square bracket characters ("[" and "]") which may or may not be interpreted as outside the hyperlink by different mail readers. The solution for those users of mail readers that stop the URL prior to the square brackets is to highlight the entire text of the URL and copy it manually to the address bar of their web browser. 

Hope this helps, 

--Mark

The registration goes like this: they sign up on the site, and after that 
they get the confirmation e-mail, with the correct link in it. They click 
on the link, and the get to the registration page, where a new empty form 
is waiting for them instead of the text that "they are confirmed on the 
site". And on the be, they are not activated, they are still in the "not 
confirmed" user group. 

Why is this happening to those people and why can other people register on 
the site? The link url they get is good, it is not broken, the parameters 
are also there.
