If by "percent hack" you are referring to the use of the % sign in place
of the @ sign in the user at domain login name, the value would be to avoid
screwing up an IMAP URL. Some IMAP servers allow you to have direct
links that look something like imap://user@domain/folder. If the
username is user at domain, then a URL of imap://user@domain@domain
wouldn't work. Thus, the % sign.
