I modefied the mail-11 mailer daemon to translate decnet mail address as 
follows:

node::"hast@domain" -> host@domain
node::"user"        -> user@node.thenet
node::user          -> user@node.thenet

This simplifies the sendmail configuration file a greate deal. It also
make it possible for user to reply to mail messages sent form decent.  

The "thenet" is used only on the localhost.  If the localhost is used
as a mail fowarder for say internet mail by decnet then user@node.thenet gets
rewritten as user%node.thenet@localhost.
