Test 7/n
**Environment:** WordPress on the tip, after August 20 or so and with
https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/5237 applied. You need
no plugins. You may use Mailpit 1.25.0 or later to pick up outgoing mail.
Mailpit needs to listen on localhost port 25. The installer has been run,
but nothing added.
I used Brave as browser and ran both on linux.
**Steps to test:** Open the WordPress admin page. Select "users" on the
left-hand bar, then "add new user" near the top of the screen. Enter "grå"
as username, "grå@grå.org" as email address. Choose any name and role.
Click "add new user" near the bottom. (Grå is Norwegian, it means grey,
and I use that as a test since I'm Norwegian. It's pronounced as org
backwards.)
Open an incognito/guest browser window, open wp-admin and click 'lost your
password', then enter grå@grå.org as email address and click 'get new
password'.
**Test results:** All is well if WordPress sends email to grå@grå.org with
a link to confirm the email address, and clicking the link brings you to
the page where you can set a new password. WordPress 6.8 will not send the
mail.
