Comment 1 for bug 896968

So this is in tension with the 'do not email people that haven't opted in', and I don't understand the difference between 'lp can email the person' and 'the person has an account in LP'.

If its about having to setup a new password, then I think this can be duped on the 'LP is not an openid consumer' bug, otherwise I'd like to understand what the actual scenario is here. (e.g. is it perhaps 'there is no way to invite people to join LP' (as facebook and twitter permit invites to be sent when you reference someone that isn't yet a member).).
