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?

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
