I pity the foo! Twitter logins getting foo.com email addresses.
If someone signs up using Twitter, their email address is just made up with hard coded foo nonsense.
For instance: Mr T logs in using twitter name MrT. The email address for his profile is set to MrT@foo.com meaning that Mr T does not get an email when notifications should be sent.
I have used sites before that get around the lack of email address from a new Twitter login by simply asking the user, upon first login, to enter their email address. Could the same be done here?
I pity the foo who doesn't get their notifications and I pity the foo who owns the catch all email address for foo.com
Andy :P
p.s. if all else fails, at least change it to example.com which can't legally be registered for any purpose.

UPDATE: Just tried signing in with a new Twitter account on Version 2.0.18b2, still comes up as foo.com
The equivilent line on mine (line 273) reads:
$Form->SetFormValue('Email', GetValue('screen_name', $Profile).'@foo.com');
Will change it myself for now and assume it's in the next commit.
Thanks for your help @Tim

It must have been merged on another branch, and merged back in unstable after b2 was out, as the pull request was pulled on the 3rd of june.
Please fix this Twitter e-mail issue. As a workaround I have disabled Twitter logins for the time being, but I would like to reenable it.
I can confirm, as an admin, that email welcome messages to @via.twitter.com accounts bounce. I would really like a way for Twitter users to attach a valid email address to their account.
