Hey

Comments on the following strings would be very much appreciated as I am bit 
unsure on both my english(native swedish speaker) and the wording of error 
messages in general.


switch ( errorCode ) {
    case TooManyAts :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "contains more than one <emph>@</emph>: 
"
                                       "you will not create valid messages if 
you do not "
                                       "change your address.");
    case TooFewAts :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "does not contain a <emph>@</emph>: "
                                       "you will not create valid messages if 
you do not "
                                       "change your address.");
    case AddressEmpty :
                             return i18n("You have to enter something in the 
email address field.");
    case MissingLocalPart :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "does not contain a local part.");
    case MissingDomainPart :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "does not contain a domain part.");
    case UnbalancedParens :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "contains unclosed 
comments/brackets.");
    case AddressOk :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is 
valid.");
    case UnclosedAngleAddr :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "contains an unclosed anglebracket.");
    case UnopenedAngleAddr :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it "
                                       "contains an unopened anglebracket.");
    case UnexpectedEnd :
                             return i18n("The email address you entered is not 
valid because it ended "
                                       "unexpectadly, this probably means you 
have used an escaping type "
                                       "character like an <emph>\</emph> as 
the last character in your email "
                                       "address.");
  }
  return i18n("Unknown problem with email address");
