I have a question for all you network trivia people. Where lies the origin of the percent sign in mail (ie weaver%mach1@gate1)? I have read rfc822, rfc733, and even rfc561 with no luck. Is this an aberration of the above, or just some widely accepted nonstandard? Mail to me and I will post the answer to save bandwidth... Thanks in advance Jeff Weaver Ford Motor weaver@pms018.pms.ford.com
