Some people might prefer [.] to \. making it @[^.]*[.] which should also
work. When inside a [] group, the period is not a wildcard.

Sorry, that didn't work ... it's grabbing a lot more than just the text between the @ and period ... I think it's matching all text between the first @ and the last period.
