[edit] Removed the broken "regex" solution

The shortest proper regex solution for this problem looks something like [1]. Anything shorter than this is not matching "an email address". I removed the broken solution until someone figures out what should actually go in here, because in fact, regex solutions in javascript are almost always the wrong solution for this. --Randal L.

And I had to remove a second broken solution. Please. People. Read, and use your head. --Randal L. Schwartz (talk) 02:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I spent a long time researching this subject, and am now comfortable with the results, feel free to use the regex I produced in the end, and use the article as citation... ^[1] --82.152.138.226 (talk) 12:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
