how to specify a username with a @ in a URL ?

[Olivier Bornet]

Hello,

some servers have the full email as username. (At least, I use one where
this is the case...) How can I specify this in an url ? Seems the @ in
the username is confusing the computation of the server name. For
example, I want to specify:

        pop://address@hidden:address@hidden

or even without password:

        pop://address@hidden@mailer.for.my.domain

address@hidden is the username,
mailer.for.my.domain is the server name.

Thanks in advance for any help.

                Olivier
