I was wondering how we're supposed to parse this type of address.
Our sendmail considers it @host2:host1!user, which is what I
figure it would be.  But, the news software considers it to be
along the lines of @host1.UUCP:user@host2.  I could see how this
second form would be valid, by expanding the !, but I remember in
rfc819 where it says internet addressing is handled right to left.
Can anybody help?

	John
[right now, I tell users to stay away from such mixed addressing]
