$email (parse-spec) function
The e-mail address portion of the word given by parse-spec is returned. (The e-mail address must be in the form X@Y.Z.) If the parse-spec value does not return an IP address, the match specification is not matched. This function is especially useful in a nested specification. (See further section.)
