I have a Mail Adressing Question I'm sure someone out there can help
me with:

Where can I find an explaination for the "%" (percent) character
as it is used in Internet Mail Addressing ?

I have gotten out RFC-821/822/733 and I can not see where the "%"
is a reserved or special character (It's not used in any examples in
either document). I know it's valid for sendmail but I have not
been able to find a reference yet.

I'm wondering if someone can point me to a document (RFC etc)
that covers the "%".

Any help would be appreciated.
