 * Is there a way to send a test message to a current user or admin user?
    I am 
   making edits to the approval message but would like to view results in email 
   client to make sure edits are good. [https://www.screencast.com/t/nfOecK8HQ7Q](https://www.screencast.com/t/nfOecK8HQ7Q)
 * Currently I create a test user and approve that user, but not a good option when
   making lots of edits.
 * Any suggestion, or am I missing a built in feature somewhere?
 * thanks

 * No features like that for testing things out, at least not with the plugin we
   have.
 * My suggestion was going to be create a test user as you’ve already done thus 
   far.
 * My new suggestion would be to re-set the user as moderated. If you’re fine with
   a touch of direct database edits, we store either `true` or `false` as user meta
   with a meta key of `_bprwg_is_moderated`
 * If you’d prefer a code method, we have this function available:
 *     ```
       bp_registration_set_moderation_status( $user_id, $status )
       ```
   
 * You’d want to pass in the test user ID in question as the first parameter, and
   then either the `true` or `false` value for the status, and it defaults to true.
   So to re-set as moderated, you’d only really need the user ID.
 * Either method would be viable for re-setting and being able to re-approve/deny
   etc fairly quickly.
