When resending email for signing up, if users refresh the page, the content will be shown as below:

We sent another activation email to you at **[missing {{currentEmail}} value]**. It might take a few minutes for it to arrive; be sure to check your spam folder.

I can repro on Meta with Firefox and Chrome.

The email is missing because we delete user ID from session after sending activation email and that is indeed the correct/safe thing to do.

Considering this is an edge case (and can be reproduced by accessing `/u/account-created/resent` directly), I updated the code to show generic success message (on reload) as per:
