) (RFC976 is how to convert @ addresses to ! for uucp use.)

From RFC976 of Feb-1986, page 3, para 1, ln 6..8:
	a hybrid address with a ! to the left of an @ is ambiguous:
	it could be interpreted as (a!b)@c.d or a!(b@c.d).

It then goes on to cite conflicting standards on the interpretation
of mixed "addresses" and to advise shunning of such things.
