I think their needs to be a second field for a users email address when joining a manila site. Just like the password field is entered twice to avoid errors. The email address field needs the same redundancy. If a user makes a typo when filling out the email address field (and the option to require email verification is enabled) they will never recieve their confirmation email and the member account they created will essentually be a "dead" account. Furthermore, when that user comes back to the site in question he will not be able to log in using his email and password.

Those dead accounts create headaches because the admin email address recieves bounced email notices when the confirmation email bounces and also when bulletins are sent do bad addresses.

Thoughts?
