Question : T-SQL to validate email addresses

Does anyone know of *solid* T-SQL (UDF or SP) that validates email addresses to ensure they are formed correctly?  I've been underimpressed with the code I have seen out there, and don't wish to re-invent the wheel.  

NOTE: my production environment is as SQL2000 shop and does not have SQL2005 available at this time.  (so CLR integration to .NET code will not work in this case)
