 The current code segment, last updated 9 years ago by @boone, utilizes
 sanitize_text_field to handle email input:


 {{{
 if ( isset( $_POST['email'] ) ) {
     $user->user_email = sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $_POST['email'] )
 );
 }
 }}}


 For enhanced security and precision, it's recommended to update it as
 follows, utilizing sanitize_email specifically for email inputs:


 {{{
 if ( isset( $_POST['email'] ) ) {
     $user->user_email = sanitize_email( wp_unslash( $_POST['email'] ) );
 }
 }}}

 This change ensures the proper sanitization of the email input, promoting
 better code practices and improved data handling.
