A few people provided some sample expressions to match email addresses, however does anyone have an expression for matching the allowable characters that can be an "email address label"?
You may not realize what a can of worms you're opening here. In the first edition of Mastering Regular Expressions, friedl provides a regex that's 6,598 characters long, for matching all the stuff that can go into a valid email address.
He also provides one that is "only" 4,724 characters long, but it runs slower.
