Shannon sent this awhile back but I am unsure how to implement it having
never used this tag before and on reading about it still being unclear.

Also I need to make sure that there are no spaces in the email in the email
and I am not sure it does that.

I am not in a hurry for an answer to this. I am expecting something that
would go in the IsMissing action.

Right now I know one sign up taf all users have a set @xxx.xxx address so I
am using <@Locate> for that and if it evaluates to 0 then I trap them.

The other I am only looking for the @ symbol. I could easily add the "."
also and the space if I could figure out who to do a locate for that so I
would end up with three missing filed inserts all different @ locates.

I can use that till I get a better understanding of this one.
