Description Francois Chouinard CLA 2013-07-12 13:57:18 EDT 
Removing a Review Group from the Preferences view starts OK (review group is removed from the list).

However, when trying to apply ("Apply" or "OK" button) generates an error if no valid user e-mail was previously defined:

R4E Error
Invalid format for Participant Email
Reason: is invalid

It looks like the initial Preferences are invalid at startup. Maybe the user should have to fill proper values *before* being allowed to perform other operations.
Comment 1 Francois Chouinard CLA 2013-07-15 16:17:49 EDT 
The minimal set of Preferences to get started are: userid + e-mail. The userid is already pre-set with the user login id while the e-mail is left blank.

One easy solution would be to pre-populate the e-mail with "userid@localhost" or something similar (e.g. "userid@<hostname>").
Comment 2 Francois Chouinard CLA 2013-07-16 14:10:11 EDT 
Added a default e-mail if none configured.

Fixed in commit df626fe617137b886d7c7cbdf20ac5f6e8b0d3a1.
