Who knew email address validation could be so complicated?

I put together some code to check for valid email addresses. More rules than I thought. I posted the code here:

I 'm not sure how bulletproof it is at this point, but it seems to handle a good deal of formats so far.

Yeah, it's crazy how far spread out the information in the RFCs is for email address validation.
