ok so is there any other “reliable” method for customising the content other than using a redirect, besides the single line/formfield of the “custom messages” addon.
Ideally I want all the pages to match the rest of the theme.

I tried this, I click on the activation link, but it won’t let me change the email address to something else, it forces me to use the paypal address. Otherwise it gives an error that either the username or email doesn’t exist.

So what is required to allow user to choose a different email if they do not want to use their paypal address?

ok, in which case, how does one check that everything is working and that members get created without having to make a REAL transaction?

With any other plugins I have used, they work fully in sandbox mode.

I know the purpose of Paypal sandboxes thanks, which is exactly why I am using it.

The plugin is in sandbox mode, thus why I am posting this question. It is actually very easy to tell.
Live mode goes to paypal.com
sandbox mode goes to http://www.sandbox.paypal.com

But since the member accounts are created by the plugin not by Paypal, then one would naturally assume that the emails are sent out via wordpress not via paypal.
The normal process I have used is that after payment, the user is redirected back to the website where any other actions occur.
Paypal only sends out emails relating to the transaction. I have never seen paypal send out activation emails to create accounts on external websites, so I think you are mistaken on that front.
