I was sitting thinking about my example, and realized email addresses can have a period ('.') in them before the '@' symbol. I'll sit down tonight and try to hack something up for you and feed it a few email addresses to see how it goes if that would help. I'm not great with regex, but I need to learn more, so this will be good.

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.
