Can someone make sense of this e-mail address format for me? I've seen such addresses before, but hell if I understand what it means. Whatever happened to the good old days, when people had addresses like:

Someone answered with an FAQ extract <smiles>:
Quote:WWW; or, what is this http stuff, anyway? (long) (mind)
From World Wide Web Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
This is an introduction to the World Wide Web project, describing the
concepts, software and access methods. It is aimed at people who know
a little about navigating the Internet, but want to know more about
WWW specifically. If you don't think you are up to this level, try an
introductory Internet book such as Ed Krol's "The Whole Internet" or
"Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet". The latter is available
electronically by anonymous FTP from ftp.eff.org in the directory
pub/Net_info/Big_Dummy.
