Description

We can probably be a bit smarter about this and ignore leading and trailing whitespace.

sure, this sounds like a simple before_save callback, with sometihng like

before_save :normalize_email

private

def normalize_email
  self.email.strip! # or whatever is needed to fix the string
end

also worth mentioning that it would be great to have a simple unit test which compares the two scenarios (see test/unit/user.rb)
