Comment:

 I suspect this is the reason why we still do that in core.  People who
 don't understand the superglobal variables use them in security-sensitive
 areas.

 JoshRoy, just use `is_email( stripslashes( $_POST[ 'email' ] ) )` or as
 boonebgorges suggests, try to figure out which is the more appropriate
 variable.
