Yes.  Send mail to "<MCI Mail ID>@mci.com".  For instance, to send mail
to someone whose MCI Mail ID is 173-2519, you would address your mail to:

	173-2519@mci.com

I have tried this and it works.

Not like that, it doesn't.  Use "mcimail.com".

The previous posting showed how to reach mci mail users from 
usenet.   I haven't tried it yet, but if it works, great.

Now, is it also possible for MCI users to send mail to us here
on usenet?
