I have installed NNTP's remote readnews program on my machine a week
ago, and upon "following-up" news, I found my "Reply-To" path to be
the following when the editor was once invoked:

          clement@buengf.UUCP

And I have to change it to "clement%buengf.bu.edu@bu-cs.bu.edu"
everytime, as my friend advised me.

My question is:  Will replying mail be able to reach me if I use:-

                  1.  clement@buengf.UUCP
                  2.  clement%buengf.bu.edu@bu-cs.bu.edu
                  3.  clement@buengf.bu.edu@bu-cs.bu.edu

I saw someone using the third format recently in news, and is it a
newer format that just got adopted?

Remarks:  buengf is a local machine, while bu-cs is on the ARPANET,
          CSNET, ..., etc.

- Clement.
