Oh its nothing to important, I'm just wondering about including in a Web form 
some code to try and detect the validity of the syntax
of a mail address, or not as the case may be.
 
Incidentally I appreciate that this will be done on the server-side only, as 
people can, and do, knock JavaScript off.

What is the nature of the program which you are writing?

Hello.
 
I'm probably opening up a can of worms here, since I understand that Email 
addresses are the most argued over when it comes to
regular expressions. I'm just wondering if someone could provide me with a few 
samples, or point me in the right direction where I
can find information on this?
 
Currently I'm leaning towards JavaScript, to pass to the match() method of the 
String object an argument to attempt to validate the
syntax of a mail address.
 
Hope this is making sense.
 
Mark
