Hi Greg, I'm sorry to hear that this is causing you trouble with your system admin. I will take care of this issue first thing on August 1st.
Currently the only purpose of email addresses being required in registration is to prevent people from being spammed who never signed up in the first place when someone tries to recover her password. But this system is clearly flawed. On August 1st I'll submit a patch that implements a notebook configuration keyword with the default value of False and tie the registration and password recovery system to it. Timothy PS: I can't do the simple commenting out until sometime tomorrow because I stupidly didn't bring my laptop with me on my trip.
