Argh ! Howmany times it is in ? I spent so many time to write a regex that belongs the RFC822 :-/ Because all the regex in answer here was false. They don't allow email like "Mickael Doodoo"@lupusmic.com nor mickael+doudou@lupusmic.org ; and they are valuable email addresses. Without the fact that a top level domain isn't always between two and three characters (think about .museum).
Or TLD's like: http://tedd.mobi/ Things are a changing fast. Just wait until you start designing stuff for cell phones. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
