Has anyone tried the regex that matches an internet email address?

I think someone may have at one point and it blew the stack because of
some recursion.  I think the same thing happens in Perl, except the
stack grows more gracefully than in Java, where you may have to specify
in advance a largish stack.

Well, I actually ended up doing it and it works great!

To be honest, I didn't do the full RFC 822 spec.... I left out the weird domain routing.

So my version is a subset of RFC 822.

I'll have to try the whole spec I suppose.

 >Would this be a good test case?

Definitely yes, with a good helping of email addresses.

Well, I have the class.... and I can add in the whole spec.

Actually, modifying the class to have a few options (like no domain routing) might be a good thing as well.

Hmmmmm.... where would we get email addresses to test?

There's several combinations to test the spec.
