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

Subject: Regular expressions to validate Email addresses

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
