I was going to say no it doesn't because it checks left and right to see
if they are blank. However, I bet your observation would cause an
execution error.
EVAL LeftSide = %subst(Email:1:@pos-1)
If the whole email address was '@mydomain.com' then @pos would be 1. Thus
making the results of @pos-1 be equal to zero. Which may make the %subst
operation get violently ill.
