	No mailer I've ever worked with would parse it that way.  Roughly,
what would happen is that it wouldn't find any @'s (which should take
precedence), then find the ! and route mail to lion!mhgrinton.UUCP via
"watmath".  Very questionable.  Try "mhgrinton%lion@watmath.UUCP" if
you have trouble (and I suspect you might).  Or did you mean
"mhgrinton%lion.UUCP@watmath"?  From your comment, probably the former.

			Have fun in any case!
