Separate issue, but a pet peeve of mine: your e-mail validation regexp
is *incorrect*. It will reject lots of valid e-mail addresses
(including anything with pluscoding). Valid e-mail addresses can take
far more forms than most people realize, so that the only correct e-mail
validation regexps I'm aware of are about a page in length.
With that in mind, then, I recommend not doing this kind of format
checking on e-mail addresses. If you must use a regexp, just use
something like /@.+\./ , or simply forget the regexp and e-mail an
activation code to the address as a means of verifying it.
Best,
