Try this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\leavevmode \hskip-\leftskip
\rlap{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\centerline{\normalsize\mdseries

#1\par \endgroup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\vskip\skip@ }
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7.5pc\relax
\begingroup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
#1\par \endgroup
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\vskip\skip@ }
