I have been setting up my thank you page and reproducing the payment information from the default thankyou page. All working fine with help of an example from the forum.
I wanted to add the Customer Email address and assumed that this would be the email address of the person paying for the membership (I use Paypal WPS so assumed it would be the paypal email). However what it seems to be is the email address of the Drupal account that has been set up.
Its quite common for an account to be created for one person but paid for using someone elses Paypal account (I always pay for my wifes Ebay stuff for instance using my ebay account) and I feel that MS really should be capturing the email address from the Paypal IPN and passing that back as the Customer Email.
Anyway thats my observation. Is it correct? If so anyway I can get the Paypal email address from the IPN (think this might need a fair few changes but not sure).

Andy,
Actually this is by design because some users don't want to have their PayPal email associated at all with their account. PayPal already emails them a receipt automatically.
You can get at the PayPal email they used in the variables on the thank-you page. It is in ther $order->payments[0]->data[] array I believe. You can try a print_r() on the $order object to see if that works. You can get at the $order variable via the $_SESSION['ms_order'] reference I believe. Of course, that would require PHP.
Hope that helps!
