I don't use Resftul_authentication, but without knowing the details of it personally I'd use a before_filter in ApplicationController (or SignupController and LoginController) to set params[:email] (or whatever) to the shorter email (gsub to replace the long one with the short one).
There may be a better way with Restful_authentication and you'll need to find out the param names you need to change the values for, but that may point you in a direction to get it working...
