anyone have any good ideas on how to fool DECNet into using an address
with a "," in it?

internally, it seems a user of this network can do

Mail host1::host2::username,ii

where "ii" might be a person's initials.

however, the gateway i use attempts to send to "ii" and "username", even
when i do something like:

Mail "host1::host2::username,ii"@decgateway.site.com

suggestions?
thanks
