Not in general. You can have just about any character, including @, <
and >, in either a display-name or a local-part.
For git we actually _remove_ any instances of '<' and '>' from both
'AUTHOR_NAME' and 'AUTHOR_EMAIL', so what you say becomes true.
I still say these shouldn't be considered email addresses, any more than
the 'user@host.domain' you see when you connect to an IRC server is
considered an IP address.
