Right now it says in the Settings page "Require e-mail for account
registration". This implies to me that an account will not be activated
until a valid email address is added. Furthermore, when this is checked,
a new account screen says: "Your email address is required for account
confirmation and recovery. You will be emailed a confirmation link right
after you successfully sign up." This definitely implies that an account
will not be activated until the user clicks on a link.
However, the account is activated, whether or not the user clicks on the
link in the email.
If we're going through the trouble of making a link and confirming email
addresses, it makes sense to follow the well-established practice of not
letting the user log in until they confirm their email address.
It seems that this could be a very easy check in the login stage, too.
Just check to see if "require email address" is set, and if so, check to
make sure the user's email address is confirmed.
