A bit of a twist over here on the same subject, I use a different ISP for
my mail than I do for browsing.  

So I'm browsing and decide to go and do the registration thing, I fill in 
all the fields then it tells me I need the key that I've been emailed. 

So I go off line (I believe that the form holds my IP address which will
change every time I go online), I close all the browser windows because 
I know that when you do one of these registration thingies you always 
get a link to click on in the email which lets you complete the 
registration. 

Now I run my script that goes online gets mail and disconnects again. 
I open the mail from the POV registration page to find no link, just a 
key and no way of getting back to the step two page with my registration
key. 

Also in the email it did this:

We have received a request from 213.122.222.164 for registration of your
email address <steve%40zeropps.uklinux.net> for the POV-Ray website.
                    ^^^

Some people may get freeked by this.
