In interpreting the line above, you read everything, left to right. But
you interpret what you are seeing as an e-mail address on the strength of
the characters over the carats.

Or, putting it in more prosaic terms, open up your favorite spread***.
In cell A1, type in any nubmer you like. In cell A2, type in anything you
want, so long as the first character is not a letter. Unless your
spread*** is set up in some odd fashion, one of those two cells should
have the information on the far right, and the other, on the far left.
Your spread*** is making the decision where to put the characters you
entered on the basis of the first charcter in the string.
