I do understand what 'Polytroop@host.foo' means: the user Polytroop at host / zone 'host.foo' (we have used this for many years in e-mail, after having used with UUCP 'host.foo!Polytroop'). I do read, understand, but do not use because I find it unpolitely, the construct '@Polytroop:' in the meaning you say 'to Polytroop:'. IMHO the '@' sign should only be used for the expresion 'Polytroop@host.foo' Thx matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
