How does a site on Usenet send mail to a site on ARPAnet?  I've thought
the right way was something like:
     sys1!sys2!gateway!person@arpasite.ARPA

However, when I attempt to reply to an article whose sender is on ARPAnet
I invariably get back a message:  "user unknown".  Now, the "To" line has
been constructed out of article contents, so if the article came to me on
a certain path, why can it not go back along the same path?  I suspect it
has something to do with "earlier" sites in the path also being gateways,
but I have been unable to confirm this.

Email responses are appropriate.  Thanks in advance.
