New member confirmation of Username & Password

I'd like to include a Username & Password reminder in the new-member confirmation e-mail that is sent out when the member's registration has been approved by a moderator.

Are there any built-in variables that I can place into the e-mail template to achieve this?

I suspect the answer is probably "No" as far as password is concerned, because I think it is stored in the database as an MD5 hash, and thus cannot be decoded.

If that is indeed the case then I guess I'll have to trap the plaintext form of the password when it's entered by the user at registration. Does Phorum provide an easy way to store additional fields in the database along with the other elements of the user's profile?

Yes, I'm aware of the security implications of storing unencrypted passwords.

Well, you found the custom profile fields already as far as I could see. These fields are not translated into email template variables though so I guess this could be tricky.
