Fixed with SMELL. I'm untainting the subscriber without validation. The subscriber has already passed through the Email validations and local email validations. I suspect this should be safe, but needs validation.

Reviewed, thanks George. Though I don't understand why the untaint is required there (it definitely is)

Reopening to apply the same patch to 1.0.10. Changing status to waiting for release,
