Description:
------------
These are from the example addresses appendix:

Alfred Neuman <Neuman@BBN-TENEXA>
"George, Ted" <Shared@Group.Arpanet>
Wilt . (the Stilt) Chamberlain@NBA.US

They all fail as of the most recent version. I was previously using addresses like Some User <user@example.com> and they were working. Since I upgraded, these are failing.

Test script:
---------------
if (Validate::email('Alfred Neuman <Neuman@BBN-TENEXA>')) {
echo 'valid';
} else {
echo 'invalid';
}

Expected result:
----------------
valid

Actual result:
--------------
invalid

This seems to work for that. Probably needs some testing and modifications.

$regex = '/[^\x00-\x20()<>@,;:\\".[\]\x7f-\xff]+
(?:\.[^\x00-\x20()<>@,;:\\".[\]\x7f-\xff]+)*\@
[^\x00-\x20()<>@,;:\\".[\]\x7f-\xff]+
(?:\.[^\x00-\x20()<>@,;:\\".[\]\x7f-\xff]+)+/i';

(added some newlines so it doesn't kill page layout)
