to validate the construct of an email address?

Due to the very permissive description of email addresses, it is
extremely difficult to *strictly* validate the form of one.

That said, here is a plausible regular expression we use to validate
email addresses in one of our Java programs:

"^([^@\\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\\.)+[a-z]{2,})$"
