I also had a similar problem with a client who wants to be able to create new web users. I had to edit the default email message (System Settings, 'signupemail_message') to be appropriate to web users. As far as I can tell, since in Revo there is no difference in the users between Manager users and web users (other than on a group behavior level) it has no way to tell which kind of user was just created, so it can only use the one setting for the email template.
Web users are simply users that belong to groups that have only 'web' context access. Manager users are users that belong to groups that have 'mgr' context access. So users are just users, it's all in the groups they are assigned to.
If you're using the Login package, with its Register snippet, then users can create their own accounts. Although actually, I'm not sure where it gets the template to use for the email to the user.

The template for the email from the login can be specified in the login snippet I believe, and there is a default chunk in the login folder of chunks. LoginTpl.Activation or something.
You can also specify the redirectto page when the email is verified, right to the content you want to give your users. No manager gets involved unless you are using the manager to make the users...
Maybe. The user must verify email, that's a particular function of login I guess. And it must have some default that mgr users default to the manager login, web users to whatever the main page is. Maybe? Or is there no verification of email in this routine?
If so, you could still just redirect them upon email verification to your content.
Anyway, now that I think about it, Susan is getting you to the default email tpl, so just put in the link you want them to open and take out the one to the manager. Sounds like no email confirmation here.
You need a login form for the front-end in any case, web-context-only users can't log in from the Manager login form. So you might as well use the Login package, even if you don't want to use any of the snippets besides the Login snippet.
The signupemail_message is the template used for MODX to send the user his login and password; when creating a user in the Manager you're given the option of displaying the password to the screen or sending it to the user. It doesn't have to have a confirmation link. That's just an optional feature of the Register snippet for when users register on their own.
