It is not quite as simple as that, the way the forum builds associations is:

Check if posters e-mail is used by existing forum member. If the 1st check fails try to match the user by their name (real name, not mail-id).
If this fails to return data as well then the forum will try to create a new account for the user.

This means if the "login" part of the e-mail was used for the persons name there would be a lot of false positives. If you want to modify the code for yourself look into the match_user_to_post() function inside include/scripts_common.inc
