facebook connected users have email that doesn't work - i think different method is needed
Description
A facebook connected users has an email on a CB site that looks like:
apps+337033013551.1061164544.3e40d4255f1e3e78e4a27de93d3f5f14@proxymail.facebook.com
however at the moment, no email ever get through to such a url
maybe this developer note can help:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Notifications.sendEmail
perhaps a new method is needed in CB?

Emails do not work because the user must grant permission for it to work. We can do this by way of an annoying pop-up or add a banner to the top of the page.. whatever the case.. or the user can do this by editing the application from their Facebook profiles. No additional API is needed other then asking for the permission to email them. Intended usage is the same as Twitter, to provide a Dummy email (while Facebooks is more unique of course). How should we go about asking for permission or simply not ask at all?

It's also possible to add an additional note to the email field if the user is synchronized for them to click a link to grant permission (this would be best approach to avoid pop-ups or annoyances to a user).
