[Building Sakai] adding 100s of guest accounts as non-participants

[Steve Swinsburg]

Does the notifyNewUserEmail=true property only work for accounts that  
are created via the Site Info > Add Participants section?

Or does it also work when accounts are created via the Users tool or  
even new Account tool for self registration?
ie:
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15570
"It would be nice to have a checkbox that one could click when  
creating a new user account (in the Admin New User tool) that, when  
submitted, sent out an email to the user whose account was just  
created with details of their username, password, how and where to  
login and how to change their password once they are logged in. "

cheers,
Steve
