According to peter@ficc.ferranti.com (Peter da Silva):
>OK, so how do we get a *path* through the internet?

You don't.

The envelope (rmail parameter) will have a bang path that ends in
"...!gateway!inter.net.host!user".  The address in the message header,
however, will be RFC822: "user@inter.net.host".  That's all there is
to it.
