The email was sent to, say, "John@somemail.com". But the beginning says "hello Jane". John and Jane are our club's members.

Every automated welcome emails from FreeToastHost seems to say "Hello Jane" regardless of the destination email. This has been happening for a few months (as far as I can remember).

Here's the email:

Hello Jane:

Someone has entered actual values in place of the variables e.g. {{firstname}} {{clubname}} {{adminname}} {{weburl}}, so now every time you send out a welcome message you have to change and check the details. If you use the variables provided, the correct information will be substituted when the email is sent.

You might want to "reset welcome message to default". You'll have to send it to someone to save the changes - try sending it to yourself the see the output.
