in reply to valid email addresses

I dont know if this might help, but my regex for email validation on all forms is :

m/^([\_\-\w\.]+)\@([\-\_\.\w]+\.\w{2,4})$/

Seems to be the best ive come up with, even makes sure the top level is 2 to 4 characters. DAMN THE .INFO!

    This regexp is broken. It doesn't accept legimate email addresses. Reread this thread and read RFC. Stop reinventing broken wheels.
