Alright, I'm scratching my head over this one:

I've created a new Profile Property (text) called "Company", to get the Company Name of registering users (required to register).  I require a profile be completed before registration can be completed.

Now when an email is generated (to the Admin, or User, or whoever), I want to display that company name.  Here is my text in the Language Editor:

Thanks for registering [User:FullName]!  We welcome [Profile:Company] aboard!

When the email arrives, the Company token is blank, so it reads "We welcome aboard!".  I would have assumed the token would work pretty easily, but obviously not.  Other "default" profile properties (such as Street, Unit, PostalCode, etc..) work fine - just not my custom properties.

Do I need to define the token somewhere before it is available for use?  Is this even possible?  Thanks

So there's no way to get this functionality without purchasing another module?

Although Localization.GetSystemMessage was rewritten recently (version 4.4.0 probably) to use the new Localization.TokenReplace class, it appears that token replacement for custom profile properties is still not properly handled as these are not exposed through public properties of the UserProfile class but rather through the Profile.ProfileProperties collection. I recently had to write my own e-mail token replacement routines so could advise how these can be accessed if you were developing your own module. I also remember reading a DNN blog or forum post within the last couple of months that mentioned that a new e-mail token replacement method would be coming soon - can't find it now and not sure if this was referring to the new TokenReplace class or a feature of an upcoming version.

If you are not writing your own module code, a third party module such as that from UCanUse's User Attributes may be the best/only way to go for now.
