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.


FYI - with Joomla 2.5.3 you can now use the new language overrides feature instead of modifying the language files.
