Email Validations

[eclectic-coding]

Steve,
I have been experimenting with URI::MailTo::EMAIL_REGEXP and it does not appear to be very robust.

Examples
If you create a user with the email user it fails validations as it should.

If you create a user with the email user@example it passes validations even though it is not a full email address.

Might want to consider a more robust solution.

Thanks for the great resource.
Chuck

@eclectic-coding thank you for taking the time to point this out. Email validation is tricky! I think the regex that Devise uses also fails in that case too.

You'll note that the comment reads:

...It simply asserts that one (and only one) @ exists in the given string. This is mainly to give user feedback and not to assert e-mail validity.

However, I think we can do a better job of accounting for this by using the correct input type on any form that deals with an email address.

How would you feel about closing out this issue in favor of a new issue focused on using the correct input type?

Sounds like a good approach.
