Note Submitter: mark dot edwards dot no dot spam at rayconNOSPAM dot com dot au ---- The apostrophe is an allowable character in the username of an email address. The regex I use for this is: ^[a-z\'0-9]+([._-][a-z\'0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([._-][a-z0-9]+))+$ Escaping the apostrophe unfortunately allows users to put a backslash in their username and the regex will not complain. Better I feel to allow some errors through than to deny legitimate addresses.
