I have a text file with many lines made like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@

And I'd like to have them splitted on "@" in newlines.

I have tried:

:%s/@/\n/g

but it does not work.
What am I missing?

In my view two things are wrong:
 - instead of 'g' use 'cg' to apply the change to all the occurrence of
   @ in a line;
- instead of \n use (that you can abtain as <CTRL-K><CTRL-M><CTRL-M>

I hope this help.
