Your regexp is unfortunatly incomplete (doesn't match all possible addresses) but hey, there is as far as I'm concered only one which does (were situated here before it got removec; http://public.yahoo.com/~jfriedl/regex/email-unopt.pl) but yours matches a bit to few for my taste.
It won't match addresses such as james+blunt@example.com or james&blunt@example.com (they are both valid addresses).
Just some thoughts.
