Probably better if it was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' rather than complicating the
containedin option. If you are in the habit of spanning syntax commands across
multiple lines, then it's pretty easy to make a new line to add the item to the
cluster. I.e., if you have:
syn match foo /foo/ contained
\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then it could be
syn match foo /foo/ contained
syn cluster myCluster add=foo
It's not so painful.

Peter
