Does anyone know how to address Internet mail to someone who subscribes to MCI Mail? Apparently most MCI Mail subscribers use an interactive and hierarchical addressing scheme. But can MCI Mail also support a "batch" style address compatible with Internet (both for Internet originated and MCI Mail originated messages)? Thanks!! Bruce Cowger cowger@hpcvia.cv.hp.com

One curiosity about MCI Mail I have is how to address people who provide a userid instead of user #, e.g. SKATT? Thanks.

All | address information is entered on | one line. | | There are three ways an MCI Mail | subscriber may be addressed from | the Internet. Either by their | | 1. Unique 7 digit MCI ID | followed by @MCIMail.com | 2. MCI Mail Username followed | by @MCIMail.com | 3. Formal name as registered on | MCI Mail followed by @MCIMail.com | | For example, John Morris could be | addressed the following ways: | | To: 248-3894@MCIMail.com (MCI ID) | To: JMorris@MCIMail.com (MCI Username) | To: John_Morris@MCIMail.com (MCI Mail | formal name. Note that underscore is | required. Blank spaces not allowed.) | | To guarantee delivery, the MCI ID is | the most reliable addressing format. | It should be used when the Username | or Formal name are common. | | Addressing to an MCI Mail REMS mailbox | from the Internet: | | The Internet user can also send a | message to an MCI Mail REMS mailbox. | The recipient's name and REMS information | is entered on one line, followed by | @MCIMail.com | | The general rule for addressing is: | | To: Full Name <mbx1%mbx2%EMS_Name@MCIMail.com> | | The percent character (%) is used to | separate the MBX lines and the EMS | name in the address. | | For example: | | To: Sam Smith <Smith%Node1%ABCMail@MCIMail.com> | is the Internet equivalent for the | following MCI Mail REMS address: | | To: Sam Smith | EMS: ABCMail | MBX: Smith | MBX: Node1 | | There are characters that require | special treatment when included | in an envelope from the Internet. | These include ()<>@;:\"[]%_/ | and comma and space. If any of | these characters are included in | a REMS MBX line, contact MCI Mail | Customer Support at 800 444-6245 | for information on how to treat | these characters when sending from | the Internet. | ------------ End of Help -------------- There ya go.... -- | Bill Fischer | US Agent for Omega Electronics of Switzerland | | wmf@chinet.chi.il.us | Sports Timing and Display Systems Worldwide | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
