All of them are fine. It's just a matter of US vs UK English I'd say.

AmE.

1. I say St + mailto: us, and I hear it very often, but some people do say St + '8' + us.

<>2. With an 'a' as in Ape, Adrian or April or with an 'a' as in Start, Smart, Dart. Personally, I use the first.

I say St + @ us. I have always heard in pronounced this way except on some TV shows.

I say Amen like the 'a' in Start, Smart, and Dart. Actually it is more like ah-men. I hear everyone around me say it like this too.
