Apparently, the "MemberDataTool" now checks for a valid email address
(in line 241 of "CMFCore/MemberDataTool.py").

It should not do that because whether or not an email address is necessary
is a policy issue that should not be enforced in "CMFCore".
I see this as a bug.

Please file a bug report at <http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/Tracker>.


In the meantime, you can change the source and remove the check again.
