Remove query string from URL using .htaccess

I am trying to make the following redirection using .htaccess.

Redirect this:

http://www.example.com/[email protected]

To this:

http://www.example.com/index.php?something

So basically all I want is to remove @gmail.com from the query string whenever is presented while keeping everything else.

I tried the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)@gmail.com$
RewriteRule (.*) $1?%1%2? [R=permanent]

Unfortunately didn't work even after doing multiple tweaks. What is wrong?

Solution
