Some people use forms which do have more fields than just for the name...

No. There is only the "@" - nothing before, nothing behind. You dont 
have to delete anything. I learned this technique from a guy who is 
nearly blind and works with the keyboard so I think it is of some use.

Maybe the people have shotcuts, maybe they haven't.

Of course, you can do it with two fields, which is a valid method as 
well. But this makes it impossible to cut-and-paste email addresses so I 
dont want to use it.

So, if there is nobody who has a solution to evaluate fields with 
mailform plus I have to try it by myself.
