um, only just. as in it works, but i don't really get whats happening.

to add different messages for blank or invalid email addresses, i did this:

$email->setRequired(true)
->addValidators(array(
array('NotEmpty', true, array('messages' => array(
'isEmpty' => 'You must enter an email, or else.',
))),
'EmailAddress',
array('EmailAddress', false, array('messages' => array(
'emailAddressInvalid' => 'An actual email address would be
awesome.'))),
))
;

I don't know what the true / false second parameters do? i changed the
second one to false and it dosn't change the behaviour.

This seems a bit hard to use, so i tried doing it differently:

$validator = new Zend_Validate_NotEmpty();
$validator->setMessage('You must enter an Email address.');
$email->addValidator($validator);
$validator = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress();
$validator->setMessage('You must enter a valid Email
address.',Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID);
$email->addValidator($validator);

which dosn't throw an error, but then dosn't trap empty or invalid emails
either. Do i have to set a 'break chain on error' boolean, and if so, where?

Finaly, is there a better way to set the default error messages than in the
zend framework validate clases?
