Eheh;) '*?' indicate a non greedy match. IMO it's the same in perl.
But the second group should also be non greedy (it's not important
according to the currently SUPPORTED locales, but should be safer).
Martin, can you change the regex to:
"^(.*?)(\..*?)?(@.*)?$"
or, if you want to avoid the greedy/non greedy issue:
"^([EMAIL PROTECTED])([EMAIL PROTECTED])?(@.*)?$"
