[Zope] Validate fields?

[ScherBi@BAM.com]

This may be heresy to some folk, but you're probably better off doing this
client side, if you are able.
The Javascript in Version 4.x and above Netscape (and IE too, I think) has a
regular expression engine built in.
An re to match all possible valid email addrs could be quite large however:

Good luck,

Mhm, but this is only a basic check that there is
an @ in it. Everybody can use the following strings:
@@
bla@bla
@bla@
@

not so good...
