Hi Joe, Email can be accepted, as long as it is properly encoded. A URL encoded POST body by definition means that you'll already have to escape characters like the "@" symbol for your POST body -- then for your signature base string, it'll have to be encoded again.
Most Twitter users sign in with their screen name and password. Do you have a use case where users are predominantly using their email address?
