      The reg exp used by the form module for email validation is:

      (^$|^\S+@\S+$)

      This could be improved.

      Something like:

      [-0-9a-zA-Z.+_]+@[-0-9a-zA-Z.+_]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}

      Or the same expression used in our ui form module:

      ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\\.\\-+])+@(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+\\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$
