@elomatreb @n In UUCP, the "address" was really a complete delivery path from the sender to the recipient, not really an address. Think of it as a set of turns to make on a road to get somewhere, instead of a destination. And the roads changed out from under you every few days, completely invalidating the instructions on how to get to the destination system to deliver the mail. Fun times, indeed.

I remember reading that in the first days of email, instead of the now-ubiquitous "@" symbol, it was the "!" instead. Wished Mastodon could've paid homage to that by formatting IDs as @user!instance :P
