Too bad all of the email regex examples fail RFC 822:

Per RFC 822 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html), the
following email addresses are valid but would be trapped as invalid by this
code. Specifically, look at Appendix A
(http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html#z10), section A.3.3.

"Some Silly User"@example.com
Another'User at example.com
Yet/Another/Wacky/User at example.com

This is too good to not add as a tip. Someone has put together a library of
regular expressions! Here are the general categories:

Email, Uri, Numbers, Strings, Dates and Times, Misc

How useful!
