That could just as easily be @www.something.com - the only difference is that generally, nobody with clue makes their subdomain a working part of the email domain, and hence, using that will bounce (as for the email protocol it shows up as inexistant).

You can do all sortsa fun things with all this.

I think they meant the www. before the @ sign though.
