Yes, but wouldn't this take a customer to the thanks page after every edit
of their info? What you might want to do is set a scratch var in the [set
NewAccount] on new_account.html, then do an [either][or] to set the
mv_nextpage, depending on whether or not they came from the new_account
page, and therefore a new user. In the 'thanks' page you can send them an
email, but you must requrie them to enter their email on the account page,
for that.

PS, I don't have a virgin catalog anywhere, so I went to the demo, and it
seems that the 'Save Acct. Info' block is no longer there... At least I seem
to remember there being one, but I could be wrong. You will probably want to
wrap the hidden mv_nextpage in the [either][or], or alter account.html to
act differently. I think by default account.html, will simply run it through
a profile, save to userdb, an return.
