Function to convert to email address?

Given a column of cells each with text in the format:

LAST NAME, FIRST NAME

..... like "Jones, Bob" and "Johnson, David", is there a quick excel
function/method that will convert and then write them to a different
column such that:

(first initial)(last name)@xyz.com

.... so "Jones, Bob" becomes "[email protected]" and "Johnson, David"
becomes "[email protected]"?

TIA

Technically you may need this

=HYPERLINK("mailto:"&LOWER((MID(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)+2,1))&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)-1))&"@xyz.com",LOWER((MID(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)+2,1))&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)-1))&"@xyz.com")

You could drop the lower if the case is not important and the repeating part
if you can put up with mailto:[email protected] rather than [email protected]

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-2)&"@xyz.com"

I don't know how to get rid of the underlines, sorry!
