Anyone who's read Mastering Regular Expressions (Jeffrey Friedl) knows 
that the correct regex to match an email address is about 7000+ bytes 
long.  There is a shorter version (4000+ bytes), but it is slower.

It is not reccommended to enter either by hand.

The standard perl Mail/SMTP modules will do it for you.
