Email preferences are needed for a very particular thing - sending and
receiving email. Not all users need it, and those who do, can find a way to
define it. In fact, i would remove email from the basic account creation form.

Gender, however, is needed for correct software messages. It's true that most
sites and programs don't even give the option of correct messages, but we do.
So gender must remain optional, but it should be more visible than today during
the account creation process.
