Hi. Here's a suggestion: make everyone have a single email
[EMAIL PROTECTED] but let them use any [EMAIL PROTECTED]
they want. That is, compare things after the "@" to end of string
and from beginning to first "/-+".
That way one can use user-packages/[EMAIL PROTECTED], or
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. And the DB would
have to store only [EMAIL PROTECTED]
