1. I created an advanced action (Send e-mail...) to send an email to a specified address.
2. I created a "display message to user" action
2. I attached both to a trigger (Trigger: After saving a new post)
3. I saved a new post as an authenticated user (not admin).

The display message action (that I had also attached) was performed, but the email wasn't sent. Note that forgotten password emails work, and if I create a new user as admin, that user gets a new account email.

I then tried changing the email address to %author - this works! However, it is completely useless for my needs. Hopefully this provides a clue as to what is happening. Perhaps a quoting or translation issue?

Confirming that this issue is present in Drupal 7.x dev version too. I opened another issue at http://drupal.org/node/560150

Maybe when fixed with Drupal 7 it could be back port to Drupal 5 & 6?

I eneded up using loginToboggan as someone suggested. It did the trick for me and was simple enough to use, this should be in the core if you ask me though, it's a pretty basic functionality (even Joomla! can do this!)
