The Daily WTF had a regular expression recently on their page that was
supposed to be the be-all end-all for email validation.
http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Validating_Email_Addresses.aspx
It's near the bottom of the page. The comments have a lot more examples
and discussion about email validation in general.

I am currently using this regexp noted below to validate client-side
before the user submits so that
at least their email is well-formed:
var emailRegxp = /^([\w]+)(.[\w]+)*@([\w]+)(.[\w]{2,3}){1,2}$/;
if( emailRegxp.test(strng) != true ){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
But, this regexp is not accepting emails of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
It is rejecting the hyphen in the domain name.
Does anyone have a real-life tested simple regexp that would plug into the
snippet above and be more complete?
Thanks to all.
Warmest regards,
