Description

help.html ends with "reply to the email your token arrived in", because I do not know of a monitored address to put there. That works only if someone is actually watching the MAIL_FROM mailbox (distribution@lingtransoft.info in the env example) and only for people who got that far — a user whose registration failed has no email to reply to.

If there is a monitored support address, drop it into the "Asking a person" section; there is a comment in the file marking the spot. If there is not, the honest fix is the other way round: make sure replies to the token mail reach a human, and say so.

Same question for the mail itself — the token email now ends with "Stuck? Reply to this message." (server/register.py), which is a promise we should be able to keep.

Research direction

Start with docs/help.html, including the comment in the "Asking a person" section, then read server/register.py and the MAIL_FROM example to trace the token email's reply path. Confirm a monitored support address or make replies reach a human, update both messages consistently, and verify the resulting wording and contact path.
