If this were true, the world would be a much happier place.  Case in
point: "snoopy" in the UUCP Map is the same machine as "Logicon.COM",
while "snoopy" in a USENET Path: header is the same machine as
"snoopy.Colorado.EDU".  I'll let you guess what happens when someone
mails a reply to a Path: header and then someone along the way
reroutes to simply "snoopy!user".
