cfform and regex question

i'm trying make sure email address in correct format, using
this regex:

<cfinput type="text" name="contactemail" id="contactemail"
validate="regular_expression"
pattern="^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.
(([a-z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name)))?$" message="email not in
correct format.">

when form submitted, still processes incorrectly formed email
address without complaint.....

if using mx 7, new attribute called "mask" has been added.
