About the @User convention

It's a (somewhat) newer convention, that allows one to direct specific
comments to one or more individuals, within a single message. AFAIK, no
email client uses the @ for any sort of threading or other organization.

The @User is most often used on really simple web forums that lack PM
feature, like old versions of Vanilla, but it can be used anywhere one
wishes to target a specific user or group from within a larger message
body. It lets the intended recipient know "this part is particularly for
you to see".
