   My site has almost perpetual Internet connection problems, and hence
   we have to use another site as our gateway to the net.  Hence, my
   Internet address contains a "%" as follows:

	   ljz%fxgrp.fx.com@ames.arc.nasa.gov

If you define environment variable USER as "ljz%fxgrp.fx.com", you
will get what you want. But make sure this change affects many other
commands.

The next version of GNUS will have a new variable gnus-user-login-name
which can be used instead of environment variable USER or LOGNAME.
