	Eeek! I hope I misunderstand!

	The proper resolution (so say I, among others) is
	to group "(node!user)@domain" such that a route
	thru uucp for example will go "domain!node!user".

	If you mean "node!(user@domain)", then *shriek*
	wrong wrong wrong

	No doubt this is religion to some, but the problem
	is that a lot of mailer software in use has the
	first usage, not the second.
