Autocorrection changes email domains after @ symbol

I'm a terrible speller, especially when typing quickly, so I actually want autocorrection. I don't want it turned off; I want it to know when correction is appropriate.

I recently needed to email Jason Stanton at NovaWinch. I typed his address correctly, but Apple changed NovaWinch.com to NovaWhich.com. I didn't notice, and the email bounced.

I asked ChatGPT to verify the address. It confirmed ***@NovaWinch.com. I copied that verified address directly from ChatGPT and pasted it into my email.

Apple changed it again.

Once the keyboard sees an @, it should recognize an email address and stop silently autocorrecting the domain.

Before @: correct my spelling. After @: leave the domain alone.

This seems like a simple change that would make autocorrection much more trustworthy. I want the spelling help—I just don't want it silently changing technical identifiers.
