It's probably not a good idea. The way the authorization routine works is that a file is created in the auth directory with the name of "username.AVeryLargeNumber". I don't think computers like having @ signs in their filenames and you'd probably run into trouble.

Also, unless you change the code you wouldn't have enough room to enter a whole email address. The script only allows for 12 characters. Many (if not most) email addresses are longer than that.
