Regular expressions

I'd like to take these 2 general strings and replace them:
email@email.com
"email@email.com" <domain@domain.com>

[C:\psh]
148> $string=email@email.com
[C:\psh]
151> $string -replace ('@\w.+','<email removed>')
email<email removed>
[C:\psh]
152> $string="`"email@email.com`" <domain@domain.com>"
[C:\psh]
153> $string
"email@email.com" <domain@domain.com>
[C:\psh]
154> $string -replace ('@\w.+','<email removed>')
"email<email removed> <--The remainder gets dropped...
[C:\psh]

So apart from trying to match the 2 strings above...

Also, can one do something like:
$string -replace ('a','1' && 'b','2')

The intent above would be that a is replaced by 1 *and* b is replaced by 2.
Realizing that one could probably do some nesting and accomplish the same
thing...
