Richard,
  I do understand that it is invalid, but......

  1) many sites use EM, by placing code in RM to handle this you make
life easier for those RMers who have to deal with EM.

  2) RM allows addressing in the form USERID AT NODEID and converts it,
when done from the command line.  A logical extension would be to allow
it for the REPLY/etc commands.

Dave,
  USERID at NODEID is not valid, not even for IBM's SMTP.  Only
USERID@NODEID is allowed.  Having said that, someone else will tell us
all how wrong I am.
