[pve-devel] [PATCH 2/2] tui: verify email with basic regex

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

Note that the HTML5 standard [1] suggests 

    /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/

as a regex, I am not sure whats the difference but it might be worth it to check if there is any relevant difference. This is used by the validator crate [2] for example.
