Subject: @

I have been asked by an editor what Arabs call @.  It seems like this
has been brought up here before, but I couldn't remember the answer.
So:
1) what do you call it when referring to the typological symbol (the
'at sign')?
2) what do you call it when spelling out an e-mail address?
thanks,
Dil
