I invited a user to my hosted forum, and now I see his email address in my users pending approval. How can this be?

I don’t really know how he found out the forum URL without clicking the invitation link , but even if he registered fresh, I’d like to think that the pending invitation from a matching email address would act as an approval for his pending account.

PS I can certainly wait until Monday while to approve Mark, while the team looks into this.
