2. Click "Convert" on the Lead just created
3. For Account, select "Attach to Existing"
4. Enter a Task subject
5. Check the "Send Notification Email" checkbox

7. Notice that no notification is received
Workaround
A workflow rule can be created to trigger on Lead conversion to send a custom notification email.
