Hi Greg,
The email parameter was deprecated [1] a little while ago with a
lot of ensuing discussion [2]. There is an open API issue on the
subject of re-adding some comparable feature [3]. When this feature
was deprecated you would have started getting back data for a user
name "show" instead. Yesterday evening we deployed a change to let you
know that this is probably not the droid you're looking for.
Thanks;

I'm working on an issue with my app that appears to be emergent very

screen_name is, given their email address.
A request to /users/[email protected] returns this:
<hash>
<error>The email parameter has been deprecated</error>
<request>/users/[email protected]</request>
</hash>
I'm not seeing any documentation anywhere that would explain to me why
this would be. It seems like it just turned off with no warning, as
far as I can tell. Is this the expected functionality of this method
now?
