This Ruby on Rails plugin implements an ActiveRecord validation helper called
validates_as_email. The helper acts as if validates_format_of was used with a
regular expression that defines an RFC822 email address conformance test.
The plugin implements the regular expression here:
http://tfletcher.com/lib/rfc822.rb
Which is an implementation in Ruby of a regular expression published by Cal
Henderson for PHP here:
http://www.iamcal.com/publish/articles/php/parsing_email
Installation:
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
Install the gem(s):
sudo gem install xHire-validates_as_email
Add to environment.rb initializer block:

Usage:

class MyClass < ActiveRecord::Base

end
