[SOLVED] Is this example right?

I am reading the definitive guide to Apache mod_rewrite.  The author (p. 14) gives a faulty email validator as

 

.+@+\..+

 

He then says this pattern will match many addresses but also @@@.@ and @.com.  I understand the first claim, but would the second example really match?  .+@ means one or more characters followed by the @ symbol, but @.com has NO characters and then the @ symbol.

 

Is he mistaken, or am I missing something here?
