	What significance does %u have to smail 3?  I sent a mail message
to someone at uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu, using this form:
	username%uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu@my_backbone
and it was resolved to
	username2155879098okmax.ecn.uoknor.edu@my_backbone
but the expansion is not in the smail logfile.  How can I escape the % so
that smail reads it literally?
