Though I will agree with you to some extent, I've had quite a lot of success with this, which is pretty thorough: ^(?:[\w\!\#\$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`\{\|\}\~]+\.)*[\w\!\#\$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`\{\|\}\~]+@(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\-](?!\.)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\-](?!$)){0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]?)|(?:\[(?:(?:[01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.){3}(?:[01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\]))$ Which I got from here: http://www.hexillion.com/samples/#Regex Marcus -- Marcus Bointon Synchromedia Limited: Putting you in the picture marcus@synchromedia.co.uk | http://www.synchromedia.co.uk
