(Get the code!)
Guys I don't know why you are silent but your email_re expression is really ugly. For example, there is no chance to validate email for domains .name, .avia, .travel, .info etc. You allow only 2-3 symbols, WHY???
Also we faced the same problem - your expression doesn't work for numeral email names like <email address hidden> if despite of that Google allowed it! For example here in Russia we often use numeral emails!
It's so pity to see that kind of bad code and it's also pity to understand that you even didn't answer to this bugreport from SUMMER?! 6 months, guys! The man even provided the patch to you. What only you could do it's to check and to merge it. Is it so hard?...
