Title	Test Details Pattern Title
Expression	^([\w\d\-\.]+)@{1}(([\w\d\-]{1,67})|([\w\d\-]+\.[\w\d\-]{1,67}))\.(([a-zA-Z\d]{2,4})(\.[a-zA-Z\d]{2})?)$
Description	This pattern allows standard e-mail addresses (e.g. [email protected]), sub domains (e.g. [email protected]), the new two- and four-letter domains (e.g. [email protected] and [email protected]) and country codes (e.g. [email protected]). Also, this patter follows the Network Solutions standard length of 67 characters for top-level domains. The reason I allow numbers to be entered in the domain suffix is for future planning. If you do not want numbers to be able to be added as a domain suffix (e.g. [email protected]), simply delete the last two occurrences of "\d".

Non-Matches	[email protected] | [email protected] | foo@[email protected]

Title	Test Details Pattern Title
Expression	^.+@[^\.].*\.[a-z]{2,}$
Description	Most email validation regexps are outdated and ignore the fact that domain names can contain any foreign character these days, as well as the fact that anything before @ is acceptable. The only roman alphabet restriction is in the TLD, which for a long time has been more than 2 or 3 chars (.museum, .aero, .info). The only dot restriction is that . cannot be placed directly after @. This pattern captures any valid, reallife email adress.
