      IMPROVEMENT #1
      It would be nice to have a Resend Confirmation Email button appear for users when they try to login to moodle, but they have not confirmed their account yet.

      IMPROVEMENT #2
      Also, if they go thru the 'forgot_password' process and they have not confirmed their account yet, it will tell them.... this should also provide a Resend Confirmation Email button.

      In both these cases, the user can 'self help' themselves first. before complaining to admin that they never got an email.

      IMPROVEMENT #3
      Add an additional column to the admin/user.php (Browse List of Users) page that would cause a link to appear beside the CONFIRM link that says 'Resend Email', which would allow admins to resend the confirmation email as well.
