'%' weirdness

Can anyone explain the following?  When a node has both a Bitnet and
an Internet address, there seem to be three ways that the address
is registered when someone sends in a subscription:
 
     xxxxx@yyyyyy (bitnet)
     [log in to unmask] (internet)
     [log in to unmask]   (in the case of our list)
 
Under what conditions does it get registered which way?  I know that
one factor is whether the person sent in the subscription request
via the bitnet address (LISTSERV@CUNYVM) or internet address
([log in to unmask]).
 
The reason I am asking this now, is a subscriber wrote saying that
no matter WHICH address she tried, she was told that she was "not
authorized."  Her subscription bears the following address:
 
[log in to unmask]
 
When she submitted her help request to our TESLHELP help line,
however, this address appeared in the header, but the bitnet
style address appeared in the body of the message!!  It would
thus appear that theaddress matching her registered address
was actually available to the LISTSERV, but it was looking
somewhere else and picked up a different version of the address
and then rejected her.

This message was  originally submitted by F11C024@SAKSU00 to  the TESLHELP list
at CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU.  If you simply  forward it back to  the list, using  a mail
[rest deleted]
======================================================================
How can this be prevented?  If I delete her subscriptions and
then have her resubscribe, I'm afraid that she will again be
registered with the '%' style and then be rejected when she
sends in a subsequent command to the LISTSERV.
