        Hi. Here's a suggestion: make everyone have a single email
        [EMAIL PROTECTED] but let them use any [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        they want. That is, compare things after the "@" to end of string
        and from beginning to first "/-+".

        That way one can use user-packages/[EMAIL PROTECTED], or
        [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. And the DB would
        have to store only [EMAIL PROTECTED]
