you want it: \< and \> are special and match a non-word char. Try

I find that I hardly ever do this for email addresses...it's a bit of
extra clutter and the the chance for false-matches is just about zero
(are there "om" (com), "du" (edu), "ov" (gov), "rg" (org), "nt" (int),
or "et" (net) top-level domains?).
Well, I'm just trying to get in the habit of doing things
properly, and the '\' makes it do just that - which is exactly
what I wanted. Sure, the chances of failure without the escapes
is low, but with the escapes, the chances are zero. I'll take
the zero chance (probably faster too).
