No, AFAIK at least Unreal does not allow ChanServ set the TOPIC that
way.

How will you ensure that the email is correct ? If it is not
Authenticated ? Users could have set a at b.c.de as email.

I believe NeoBOPM, now a renamed project is not as good as ist
Origin BOPM, just as IrcServices is better than all its clones.
Since Bopm is working fine and supports more than some oddities
Like NeoBOPM, I would anyway advise using it, and not combine it
With services and add additional tasks to services.
