We do a fair amount of parsing of email addresses for our http://www.spamex.com service and found that the regex to properly parse email and remain RFC compliant is actually about 1 page long (we found it published somewhere). We ended up not going the regex way due to the complexity and just parsing the email address one character at a time to isolate the email address. Not as elegant but much easier.
