Joomla 1.7 duplicate email suppression was created by nant
As of Joomla 1.7 there is a bug/missing-feature (?) in Joomla API that automatically triggers a Joomla welcoming email when CB User Management is used to create a new user.

A relatively painless work-around is to find the:

administrator -> language -> en-GB -> en-GB.plg_user_joomla.ini file (and/or all relevant language specific instances)

and empty the relevant language strings:

PLG_USER_JOOMLA_NEW_USER_EMAIL_BODY=""
PLG_USER_JOOMLA_NEW_USER_EMAIL_SUBJECT=""


This will suppress Joomla email sending.

Only minor cosmetic drawback is that you will see a warning in backend:

Empty message body

when creating user.

Plug-in Manager: User - Joomla!
Notification Mail to User = No

Disables the welcome message.

Doesn't work when adding users from CB User Manager.

The answer was not for you, that's why you didn't understand it.

The method proposed in my first post on this thread works also for Joomla 2.5 - you can test it easily.
