I'd like to modify my FudForum such that users log in with their email addresses instead of login names.

The reason I'd like to do this is because I am migrating a 2000+ person mailing list into FudForum, and I used the auto account creation option to pre-register user accounts. Some of the user accounts have one or two-character usernames, which cannot login to or retrieve passwords from, FudForum. I'd also like to avoid having to deal with user requests to change their login names.

Is this possible/desirable, or can any of you suggest a better solution? I supposed I could enable users to login via their nicks, which mights solve one problem, but establishing emails as the logins would be the better, more egalitarian solution.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

thanks
