In a related problem, I recently modified our local RMAIL to translate
% to @ in order to permit people on uucp to mail to MIT's CHAOSNET,
a translation which is done only if there are no ! signs left in the
TO name.  Why did I do this at all?  Too many people tried to send
with @ and lost at various places along the net.  Hence, I chose a
character I *hope* no-one else catches, and made a conditional
translation for it.  Sigh.  Networks are such a pain.
