You're not doing anything wrong; FrontPage just doesn't
have a feature for validating e-mail addresses.
There is, however, hope. If you browse
http://www.google.com and search for the keywords:
validate email address javascript
you'll find several billion ways to solve your problem.
The only catch is that custom javascript validation and
FrontPage validation don't coexist very well. Within a
given page you generally have to use one or the other
exclusively.
