[EMAIL PROTECTED] in regular expressions means 'any character _but_ @'.

Oh yes, I confused these two:

[^aeiou]        matches a single character outside the given set
^               start of string

The other thing was whether the + is inside the parentheses "(...)".


I would think it should have been

/([EMAIL PROTECTED])@(.+)/
 /([EMAIL PROTECTED])+@(.+)/         # (the original)
/^([EMAIL PROTECTED])@(.+)$/        # this would be even more explicit

I wanted to add ^ and $, I'm however not sure if that's really necessary..
