Hi Ven,

I put profiles under:
_Path_To_Catalog_/etc/profiles.order

Along the lines of:
[snip]
__NAME__                            check_email
email=required
&fatal = yes
email=email
__END__
[/snip]

Otherwise heres another way of doing it directly on the page:

[snip]
[if value form_errors]
   <B><FONT COLOR=RED>[value form_errors]</FONT></B><P>
   [value name=form_errors set=""]
[/if]

[set check_email]
   [if type=value term=email op="!~" compare="/\w+@[-A-Za-z0-9.]+\.[A-Za-z]+/"]
     form_errors=We need a VALID eMail address for you.
     mv_nextpage=@@MV_PAGE@@
   [else]
     mv_nextpage=index
   [/else]
   [/if]
[/set]

<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=return>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_check VALUE=check_email>
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=email VALUE="[value email]" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="128">
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
[/snip]

It should take you to index.html if a successful regex is performed 
on the address otherwise an error in red will be shown...
