Available now at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/. Fixes:
I’m still tracking a known issue with internationalisation and hope to have that addressed in the next version.
For those people using Welcome Pack, please be aware there is a new release of BuddyPress, version 1.2.4, out at the end of this week. The email feature of Welcome Pack might stop working until I get an update out, which I shall endeavour to do as soon as possible; might not be until after the first weekend.
Will try to get it tomorrow, but can’t promise; lots of client work to do.
Appreciate it.

I’ve just checked it out, tested it on a clean WP 3.0 + BP 1.2.4 install, and both email and the welcome messages/groups etc work fine with this release.
Can you give me some details of your problem, perhaps? paul at byotos.com. Thanks.
No its not working. As you were expecting it is giving some error related to admin.js. Firstly I thought it might be some internet explorer problem but firefox is also not giving any different result.
Custom email option is not working. Please help!
Welcome Pack works fine on my WPMU 2.9.2 + BP 1.2.4 install. YES!
I do, however, have another request. Please refer to the following forum posts. I could really use your help. I’m aiming for admins to moderate user registration on my “closed” website.

Due out this evening (23rd April), Welcome Pack 2.0.2 will contain a pair of fixes which will correct the filenames of the bundled localisation files, and fix a bug where the text in the email selection menu wasn’t showing the translated text.
Slava kindly contributed the above bug fixes and has sent in a Russian translation, which is cool; thanks very much.
Ray suggested that the username and group name lists should be sorted alphabetically rather than by user ID, which I agree with, so that will also be in the new version.
Dear paul!
I have a problem with the welcome pack. Once I installed, I changed the “new message” part of the e-mail section. I would like to reset the default. Therefore I removed and reinstalled it, but it kept the changed version.
Please help, if you can!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Mate
That’s a good idea for a new button in the next version. In the interm, delete the ‘welcomepack’ record in your wp_options (or wp_1_options, etc) database table. This will clear all the settings.
Welcome Pack 2.0.1 will be released today. It will fix a bug with the email dropdown box not working correctly on some upgrade installs, and will optimise memory usage for loading the configuration pages on sites with many thousands of users.
[update] It’s available now from your WP Admin Plugins page.
The other day, I released version 2.0 of my Welcome Pack plugin for BuddyPress. The big new feature is the ability to customise the text of the default emails that BuddyPress sends.
For those new to Welcome Pack, check out this intro video:

I haven’t had huge amounts of feedback yet, which probably means I didn’t break anything — always a good sign. There has been a report on the BuddyPress forums from someone running into difficulty with Welcome Pack on a site with over three thousand users; I’m waiting for some feedback from the person concerned and will probably do a minor patch to resolve it.
Hi,
Great plugin !
My problem is when I want to customise the default emails sent by BuddyPress, I have empty list whithout any email title..
I’m using BP 1.2.3 translated in french (as WPMU). I’ve tested with english language : same bug.
Any idea ?
Excuse my english !
Thanks, Guillaume.
PS, I’ve post this problem here : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/387433?replies=1
Hi Guillaume
Thanks for posting. I’ll investigate, I probably will need some more details from you.
Regards
Paul
The Welcome Pack is great – but as admin I seem to be getting a copy of the Welcome email every time someone joins!
Messages are reaching new joiners, as I’ve checked with a test account.
Thanks for this; I’ve fixed it in Welcome Pack 2.0.3
Paul Gibbs, 
User, 
Guillaume are discussing. 
Ahhhh…that explains it. Custom welcome not working after I installed 1.2.4.
Rats! And i was taking the site live this weekend.
