 When you create an user with an Email address as username, let me say
 "a at email.com" and put "b at email.com" as User's Email Address, when you go
 to "Lost  Password" it asks for "Username or E-mail:", if you type
 "a at email.com" it will fail saying: "ERROR: There is no user registered
 with that email address." What it is technically true, but "a at email.com"
 it is an Username, so I must be allowed to Recover my Password.

 The defect is that, if the username it looks like an email address,
 wordpress will only check if the string it is a registered email address
 in the Blog, is not checking if an user with an username like this exists.
