[Solar-talk] Solar_Valid::email() Issue

[Paul M Jones]

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry to be so late in my reply on this.

I have entered your note in our bug tracker at <http://solarphp.com/ 
trac>, which was not online at the time you originally wrote.  The  
validation routine is from PEAR Validate, if I recall correctly, so  
you may wish to notify them as well.

Thanks for your attention to detail, and for the good report.  :-)
