Email address validation expression fails some valid emails that use Plus Addressing

[SteveSwaringen]

Description

Attempting to enter an email address that uses Plus Addressing fails if the address uses a period after the plus.

Actual Behavior

[email protected] will fail (often silently) even though it is a valid address consistent with email address conventions. [email protected] (omitting the . between john and doe) will succeed.

Expected Behavior

Valid email addresses utilizing Plus Addressing should be supported.

Steps to Reproduce

• Go to rocksolidchurchdemo.com, log in.

• People -> Prayer -> Add Prayer Request

• Add a prayer request with an email address like [email protected]

• Click Save. You will not see an error, but the form will not save.

• Remove the . between john and doe.

• Click Save. This time, the prayer request will save.

One fix is to replace this regular expression: [\w\.\'_%-]+(\+[\w-]*)?@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+ with this regular expression: [\w\.\'_%-]+(\+[\w\.\'_%-]*)?@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+ I found this expression used three different places in the codebase.
