How to overwrite /modules/user/user.module text? I am trying to override the text outputted on the user login block:

"A valid e-mail address. All e-mails from the system will be sent to this address. The e-mail address is not made public and will only be used if you wish to receive a new password or wish to receive certain news or notifications by e-mail."

I have copied "/modules/user/user.module" to my site's theme folder and overwritten the text in question however I'm not seeing the change.

Any help greatly appreciated :)

Thank you,

Andrew
You can use hook_form_alter to change this text

function mymodule_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state, $form_id) {
  switch ($form_id) {
    case 'user_profile_form':
    case 'user_register_form':
      $form['account']['mail']['#description'] = t('My text');
      break;
   }
}
