ry@cadre.UUCP (04/02/84)
Why does the path information provided by news in the form:
sysA!sysB!sysC!user@sysD.UUCP
which really means:
sysA!sysB!sysC!sysD!user
There are many sites/mailers that interprete the news path format as:
sysD!sysA!sysB!sysC!user
Which should have higher precedence the '@' sign or '!' ?
