Yes.  "Randal L. Schwartz"@stonehenge.com does not match the first
regexp, and is valid according to RFC822.  I haven't activated that
one, but I could in about 10 seconds, to be my email address.

Please see my other postings in this thread. I posted the regexp that
matches RFC822 (except for nested comments).  It's about 8000
characters long.

PLEASE READ THE REST OF THIS THREAD.
