This fixes BK's bugs when checking an email address:
"/^([a-z0-9._-](\+[a-z0-9])*)+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,6}$/i"
Features:
-Accepts + addressing, and must have characters after the +
-No special characters such as: ! # $ % & ' * / = ? ^ ` { | } who needs 'em!
-No spaces.
Caveats still remaining:
-You should use trim() on your email address first.
-Allows multiple ...... dots
-Allows dots in the .wrong places.
-Allows domain names with dashes - in the wrong places.
