Re: E-mail address validation problem + patch

Thank you for your work, Veres-Szentkiralya Andras. Although I do not
work with the Cake team, I do know that sending this to the Google
Group isn't the proper place to submit change requests, and may go
unseen by the developers.

To submit bug reports/patches/fixes, you would want to use their
current ticket/repository system located (I believe) at Lighthouse:
http://cakephp.lighthouseapp.com/home
