% character in connection strings/usernames

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to connect to an ssh server in the form of "ssh
user%domain.com@domain.com"
2. Note invalid <?> characters in popup window
3. Observe difficulty/inability to login properly.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My host requires my username to be serveradmin@domain.com however the
convention for ssh with @ signs in usernames is to use a %. I also tried
%25 which is the URLENCODE for '%' however that did not work, and neither
did simply using the @ sign.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
1.2 (r109 2008.11.03)

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
*nix (works with PuTTY and Ubuntu ssh)

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?
n/a
