I just want to thank all the dozens of people who ventured a guess as to
why my mail to friends on CompuServe bounced. I must have hit on a popular
subject because in less than 24 hours I received dozens of replies; however,
only 4 people correctly noticed that I was inadvertantly leaving off the
final "e" from compuserve in the address.
To summarize:
To send mail to people on CompuServe, if the person's CIS i.d. is 76543,210
you would address your message to 76543.210@compuserve.com
To send mail from within CIS to someone on Internet you would append
a >INTERNET: to the person's address; so to send mail to me address it to
>INTERNET:chaim@eniac.seas.upenn.edu
You currently can shorten the >INTERNET: to just >INET: but I've been
informed that CIS will soon do away with that and require you to spell
the word INTERNET out completely.
Thanks again!!

MCI Mail has a very nice but totally unpublicised gateway of their own that I stumbled across. To send mail from MCI to the Internet, tell MCI Mail you're sending to a REMS, give the REMS name as "internet" and on the mailbox line, give the internet address. To go the other way, send to something like 0001234567@mcimail.com where the number is the MCI Mail account number padded to ten digits. Not all internet hosts know mcimail.com, but uunet does. Bang paths seem to work too. -- John R.
