Of course not! Sorry, I forgot the <joking></joking>-tags!

Oh, no, never thought of that. I only wanted to introduce my explanation
that it was _you_ who helped; I had just an additional question, that was why
I appeared in that thread!

Ok, I expected this: "read as less as is necessary to match" and this is
exactly "januk" before it matches the @.
But why is no "canada.com" necessary? I guess it has to do with the
anchor?!
"(?i)(.*?)(@)(.*?)$"

Well, here it has to match "canada.com" to match because of the anchor.
"(.*)(@)(.*)"

Ha, that idea with the anchor wasn't that good! Here you don't look for
them, but I guess it now has to do with the minimizer?!
The funny thing is, that it makes no difference whether you use "caseless"
or not ((?i)) (I tested it with other mailadresses).
