Visiting the page is /not/ enough to reset the trigger: you /also/ have to log in! And considering it is only a welcome message, there is no reason to reply, and thus no real reason to log in. The welcome message might actually be *detrimental* in these cases: if the welcome message is not posted, the next message - hopefully one which requests a reply - will be the one to trigger the e-mail. One possible way to improve this would be to add information to the url, which links to the user (i.e. add ?token=abcdefg to the url) - but I don't know if this is a good idea in terms of privacy.
