        string scrubbedemailBody = emailBody;
        Regex regex = new Regex(@"(\.|[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9])*@(\.|[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9])*");
        scrubbedemailBody = regex.Replace(scrubbedemailBody, match => {

Since you're asking for a Regex, I'm going to give you one.

Regex regex = new Regex(@"(\.|[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9])*@(\.|[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9])*");
foreach (Match match in regex.Matches(inputString))
{
    // match.Value == "[email protected]"
    string name = match.Groups[1]; // "xx"
    string domain = match.Groups[2]; // "yahoo.com.my"
}

Sting input = "contact [email protected] or [email protected] for more details";
String pattern = @"(\S*)@\S*\.\S*";
String result = Regex.Replace(input , pattern , "$1");
