^[\w\.=-]+@[\w\.-]+\.[\w]{2,3}$ |
| Description |
Much simpler email expression. This one forces a length of 2 or 3, which fits current specs, but you may need to alter the end as this one allows all numerals on the .COM section. |

This doesn't account for 4-letter domains

Too many things wrong with this one to consider using it. For starters, top-level domains greater than 3 chars, such as .store and .museum, will be failed.

Except that per RFC 822 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html), the following email addresses are valid but would be trapped as invalid by this code. Specifically, look at Appendix A (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/Overview.html#z10), section A.3.3.<br><br>
"Some Silly User"@example.com<br>
