Maybe you'd want to work on showing a better error message if it does not
pass the email validation?
I'm sure you can mess about somewhere before the email_only check happens to
change the value of the cgi param and filter out spaces, but the next guy
that comes might have a tab behind it, you'd want to cover for that one
aswell? 

CU,
