Please do not forget that it is rare for a user to hide their email address.
Especially if they actually want to be contacted.  Perhaps the addition of a
'secure' email address that the user is instructed to set and not to share
anywhere else is a good idea?  It isn't hard to come by mail accounts for
such purposes these days with places like yahoo and hotmail.
