If anyone cares, this used to be completely legal and actually, a very 
useful way of doing things.  There were a number of UUCP sites that were
much quicker to address via:

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

than giving the full ! path to the actual uucp site.  This was not "broken",
it was "operational".  I guess those days are gone, however.

Just for fun, does anyone remember the issues surrounding:

                [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other fun thing that nolonger works:  finger user@somehost@otherhost
