- see footer for list info -<
I use this regex for email. It's javascript which means you can validate at
the client side and I'll be converting it to cfml shortly for server side
double-checking. It should be 100% compatible.
re =
/^(([A-Za-z0-9']+_+)|([A-Za-z0-9']+\-+)|([A-Za-z0-9']+\.+)|([A-Za-z0-9']+\++))*[A-Za-z0-9']+@((\w+\-+)|(\w+\.))*\w{1,63}\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/;
It allows ' _ - characters (single quote, underscore, hyphen) which are all
legal for email. Yes, even john.o'[EMAIL PROTECTED] is legal. It also allows
longer TLDs which some outdated rexeg scripts don't accept. e.g. .museum.

didn't know there was any bad thinking about it!
I use it all the time to great effect - don't ever get any missed by the
regex.
I'd like to hear if there are any cons to it?
