Comment on Stop validating email addresses with your complex regexparent

Sending people to their emailclient would probably decrease conversion too much.

Yeah, maybe. But you're going to have to send them there some time to do the "confirm email" thing, I was just thinking perhaps get that over and done with upfront.

Ideally, all this would be done away with by OpenID or client-side certificates or something along those lines. The whole password-and-email-in-case-you-forget-it paradigm is broken, really.
