OK gang, here is what you need to do to a) send the PM after the member activates their account and b) make sure the message is new.

In actuality, doing a seems to ensure b. So this is easy.

INSTEAD OF doing this step in Overgrow's hack:
find

		
		$DB_site->query("UPDATE session SET userid=$userid WHERE sessionhash='".addslashes($session['dbsessionhash'])."'");

directly after this, add

			
	
		// send default PM to new user
		eval("\$newpmtitle.= \"".gettemplate("newpm_title")."\";");
		eval("\$newpmmessage.= \"".gettemplate("newpm_message")."\";");
		$originating_user = 1;					
		$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($newpmtitle))."','".addslashes($newpmmessage)."',".time().",0,0)");
		// send default PM to new user

DO THIS:
Find:

} else {
			// activate account
			if ($userinfo['customtitle']==0) {
				$usergroup=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT usertitle FROM usergroup WHERE usergroupid=2");
				if ($usergroup[usertitle]=="") {
					$gettitle=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM usertitle WHERE minposts<=$userinfo[posts] ORDER BY minposts DESC 

LIMIT 1");
					$usertitle=$gettitle[title];
				} else {
					$usertitle=$usergroup[usertitle];
				}
				$dotitle=", usertitle='".addslashes($usertitle)."'";
			} else {
				$dotitle = '';
			}
			$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid=2 $dotitle WHERE userid='$u'");
			$username=$userinfo[username];

Add AFTER:

		// send default PM to new user
		eval("\$newpmtitle.= \"".gettemplate("newpm_title")."\";");
		eval("\$newpmmessage.= \"".gettemplate("newpm_message")."\";");
		$originating_user = 22;					
		$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid) VALUES 

(NULL,$u,$u,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($newpmtitle))."','".addslashes($newpmmessage)."',".time().",0,0)");
		// send default PM to new user	


		if ($noshutdownfunc) {
			$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$u");
		} else {
			$shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$u";
		}

If you have done it correctly, the next line you see in the code is:

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_activatedthanks")."\");");
