Have you thought about reporting that as a bug and/or contributing a better version? Testing for valid email addresses is a pretty standard task in a web-based application. I had actually hoped that the RFC822 class would comply with RFC(2)822, so that we don't have to reinvent the wheel ... >though I agree, using PEAR::Mail is a >better solution, if only so you have less code to maintain.

Since it seems we can't use Mail_RCF822, I'll probably go with the regexp you already posted. We're not doing anything fancy with email addresses in Geeklog - it only needs to check if whatever the user entered could be considered an email address ... Btw, the CVS version of Geeklog now uses PEAR::Mail.
