Ummm... the mail address is not a unique key - We could strip it to be
just the login, but it is far more probable for you to remember your
mail than your login. And, as this request changes your password to a
random one, we didn't want to allow to just anybody to start a
dictionary-like attack on logins, messing with everybody's account.
