The mail program on our new VMS system uses the following syntax for
Internet mail addresses:  exos%"user@domain".

Reading various mailing lists I have also seen jnet%"user@domain",
pony%"user@domain", in%"user@domain".  Is there a standard extablished
for these names?  I think it would be much easier for network users
if mail network names were used instead of product names.

What are you using to indicate BITNET, UUCP, and ARPA Internet mail
addresses on your VMS system?

PS. I prefer pure RFC822 address syntax, however I understand there are
some cases where the above syntax must be used on VMS systems (eg. Vax
clusters).
