/************************************************
DESCRIPTION: Validates that a string contains a 
  valid email pattern. 
  
 PARAMETERS:
   strValue - String to be tested for validity
   
RETURNS:
   True if valid, otherwise false.
   
REMARKS: Accounts for email with country appended
  does not validate that email contains valid URL
  type (.com, .gov, etc.) and optionally,
  a valid country suffix.  Since email has many
  forms this expression only tests for near valid
  address.  Some additional validation may be
  required.
