I need to find a regular expression that matches email addresses.

Figured it out.

It wasn't the matching of regular expressions that was causing problems .. it was what I was doing with them.

I was trying to treat the found email addresses as a regular expression ... where the + was being treated as a regex operator itself.

I used preg_quote to escape the expression and it worked great.
