Package: putty
Version: 0.60-4
Severity: normal

I use the windows version of PuTTY very very frequently. One of the features I 
use often is to run it from the Windows "Run" dialog..

Ie. Win+R putty u...@host port
    Win+R putty m...@example.com 22000

I've noticed that this linux version supports the specification of host and 
port in the same fashion, but seems to include the username@ portion as part of 
the hostname, failing with something similar to "Unable to open connection to 
u...@host: Name or service not known".

I see there's an "-l" switch, but I'm curious why this alternate behaviour 
described above varies from the windows version.
