I have an e-mail address of someone I wish to contact. I am a novice at sending mail. Is there a way to make contact with some one with a CompuServe Address. Thank you for any help you can give.

Subject: Addressing CompuServe Mail users A message you sent to a CompuServe Mail user is being returned because it could not be delivered due to an incorrect address. The correct method of addressing CompuServe Mail users is outlined below. There are two types of CompuServe Mail addresses. They can be reached from the Internet as follows: a) Members of the CompuServe Information Service have an address (a.k.a. User ID) of the form "xxxxx,yyyy", such as "70000,11". To send mail to such an address from the Internet, change the comma to a period and attach "@CompuServe.com". For instance: 70000.11@CompuServe.com b) Members of organizations with a private CompuServe Mail area have an address of the form "organization:name", such as "ABC:J.SMITH". To send mail to such an address from the Internet, send it to "name@organization.CompuServe.com". For instance: J.SMITH@ABC.CompuServe.com A few organizations have addresses which also include a department in the form "organization:department:name", such as "ABC:ACCTG:JOHN". To send mail to such an address from the Internet, send to "name@department.organization.CompuServe.com". For instance: JOHN@ACCTG.ABC.CompuServe.com There are also a number of special destinations available to users of CompuServe Mail which are NOT accessible from the Internet, including: Facsimile Delivery (e.g. >FAX: ) Postal Delivery (e.g. >POSTAL: ) Telex Delivery (e.g. >TLX: ) MCI Mail Delivery (e.g. >MCIMAIL: ) Finally, please realize that only CompuServe Mail users have access to our member directory. Since there is no mechanism for you to obtain addresses directly from CompuServe Incorporated, you should obtain this information from the individuals with whom you wish to correspond. Thank you.

To send to a CompuServe user, use their CompuServe account number with a period instead of a comma, and then send to 'user@compuserve.com'. For example, my CompuServe account number is [76130,2374], and people on Internet send to: 76130.2374@compuserve.com A CompuServe user can easily reach Internet hosts as well. If you are on CompuServe, you use their standard "GO MAIL" mailer and prefix all internet addresses with the string ">Internet:". For example, a CompuServe mail user can send mail to you with the address: >Internet: startbuck@ucrmath.ucr.edu This seems to work quite well and the mail delays are short if your Internet or uucp site is well managed. -- Gary Wisniewski uunet!apexepa!gary Apex Software Corporation gary@apexepa.uucp Phone: (412) 681-4343

Try to use the following format if the CompuServe Id is 70000,5555 70000.5555@CompuServe.Com Good Luck. Charlie Li
