Encrypted passwords are still an unacceptable way to store passwords. They should be hashed.
(and salted before hashing.)
And marinated in butter milk.
Peppered if you're feeling extra
Just because they send out the password does not mean it's not hashed. They could send the email before hashing.
You're correct and after reading more of the thread I saw OP say this was sent immediately after registering. I don't have reason to believe it is stirred in plaintext unless they're storing s copy of every email they send.
