Does it really need to be a regular expression? Why not just write a
short function that breaks apart the input and validates each part?
def IsEmail(addr):
'Returns True if addr appears to be a valid email address'
# we don't allow stuff like [EMAIL PROTECTED]@biff.com
if addr.count('@') !=

I can swipe it... but it causes my head to explode. I get unbalanced

No. The only way to check if the matched thing is a mail address is to send
a mail and ask the supposed receiver whether he got it.
The grammar in RFC 2822 nearly matches anything with an @ in it. So, how

I think the only way to decide if your regular expression does what you want
is to pro
OMG, that is so ugly :D

Is it possible to write an re that _only_ matches email addresses? I've
been googling around and have found several examples on the Web, but all
of them produce too many false positives... here are examples from
Google that I've experimented with:
re.compile('([EMAIL PROTECTED])')
re.compile(r'
