[joomla] Email verification during Joomla Registration

Hello Everyone and Happy NYC Joomla DAY Weekend!

I have a client with a Joomla 1.5.26 site. He registers customers using 
the backend User Manager and does not want to type in the user email 
address. To clarify, he does not have a user email to enter into the 
field and does not have a need for that field.

I talked to him about a Joomla 2.5.x migration but this is not in the 
works so I started thinking about and looking at methods to hack Joomla 
1.5 (YIKES -- I hate doing this for obvious reasons).

I explored using RS Forms Pro but it appears that RS Forms Pro can not 
override the built in Joomla CMS verification that takes place at the 
registration process even if you create a custom RSForms Pro 
registration form.

There are a few posts at Joomla.org about this :

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2608020#p2608020

but I tried commenting out the the two sections of code that send the 
email out after registration and this did not solve my problem.

Does anyone know where in Joomla CMS 1.5.x I can find the specific code 
that verifies that the email field has data and/or checks the data 
entered against existing users. Perhaps I can just comment out this 
verification and be happy!

Thank You
Bob Rynkieiwcz
