BuddyPress 2.5 introduced some wonderful email functionality. In order to do this, it bypasses WordPress’ default email methods. This means that any filters you applied to the <code>wp_mail_from</code> and <code>wp_mail_from_name</code> filters don’t work with emails sent by BuddyPress. This plugin translates those filters into something BuddyPress can use.

When signed up user activates their account, it makes them logged in
Once that user is logged in, they are redirected to their profile
