I'm back...with a new email address.

In my opinion, having closely studied the rules in regards to this question,
I would say that mana regeneration is per day.  The rules are actually very
clear on this, in my opinion.

Pg. 17, Book One, The Character Book

Paragraph 1.32721
"If a magic-user does not use any mana during a day that he is regenerating,
or if he is a natural magic-user, add his MEL to the number of points that
he normally regains for that day.  If a natural magician rests, add MELX2 to
the mana points that he regains instead of MEL."

Paragraph 1.32722
"All mana is regained at the start of the day, based on the expenditures of
the preceding twenty-four hours.  Mana never regenerates to a point greater
than the magic-user's current Casting Ability."

So, we can infer that if he "normally regains for that day" a certain amount
of mana, that amount must be his Mana Regeneration amount.
