From article <9293@louie.udel.EDU>, by matthews@udel.EDU (John Matthews):
 
  *  node1!node2!node3!user@machine.xxx.edu
  *  [   ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ]  go to machine.xxx.edu first.
 
 	...or

  *  node1!node2!node3!user@machine.xxx.edu
  *       [ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ] pass this address to node1 first
 

RFC976 sez that mixed mode addresses should be avoided, but that the 
first example above is the prefered one.
