I've got it!

My merge file has two fields, one called Name, which contains... well, a
name, and another called Address, which contains either a phone number
or an email address. The following suppresses all NON email addresses
from the merge:

{nextif{MERGEFIELD "Address"} <> "*@*"}{MERGEFIELD "Name"} ---
{MERGERFIELD "Address"}

Evidently, it is important that the '<>' has a space either side of it.
This worked for me.
