I don`t understand why he needs a Member to email him.
Applying to join could not be simpler.

When you register to join a forum such as this you are required to provide an email address as well as a user name, when you hit the submit button an email reply is automatically generated which instructs you to activate your account by clicking on the link provided in the body of the email. Once the activation is completed this enables you to log in to the forum using your user name and password.
The problem anglecalm's brother is having is that he is not receiving the reply activation email and so he is unable to activate the account.
The reason he wanted someone to email him was to confirm that his email address was not corrupt, I emailed him and his email address is correct.
