How are you hoping to do this?  The regex to validate an email
address syntactically is pretty large:

And no, I'm not kidding.  If your regex is smaller than that, you aren't
validating email... you're validating something "kinda like email".

For example, <fred&bar...@stonehenge.com> is a valid email address.  (Go
ahead, try it... it has an autoresponder.)
