Is it possible to exchange mail between the internet and compuserve, and if so, what is the address format (i.e., goven a compuserve id, what internet address to use)? thanks... duncan -- Duncan Glendinning CAnet: ddrg@mentor.gandalf.ca, ddrg@gandalf.ca Gandalf Data Ltd.

There is a guide to mailing between the various nets, and that guide used to be posted to comp.mail.misc monthly (although I haven't seen it around for a while). The following lines come from that guide: ... the general format of mail ... #F mynet #T yournet #R youraddress #C contact address if any #I send to "youraddress@thegateway" ... and later on ... #F compuserve #T internet #R user@domain #I send to ">INTERNET:user@domain" ... and to mail the other way around ... #F internet #T compuserve #R 71234,567 #I send to "71234.567@compuserve.com" #I note: Compuserve account IDs are pairs of octal numbers. Ordinary #I consumer CIS user IDs begin with a `7' as shown. >thanks... duncan >-- >Duncan Glendinning CAnet: ddrg@mentor.gandalf.ca, ddrg@gandalf.ca >Gandalf Data Ltd.

Small comment: CompuServe userids no longer necessarily start with a
`7,' e.g., 100022.1234@compuserve.com is a form not uncommon in my
gateway logs.
