Hasn't anyone built a reasonable user agent to these ISO beasts? The Internet user@hostname convention is pretty straighforward. Telecom Canada should follow Compuserve's example and build an Internet Gateway, rather than forcing the entire load on one US government facility that happens to translate RFC822 into X.400. As a user, I won't accept any system that forced me to remember the arcane X.400 syntax. Is there a delivery or user agent that works with the ISO directory stuff? (X.2500?) I want to be able to use my 'old' user interface {user@organization - which is all the X.400 address really captures anyway.} [Example: Bob.Allen@AT&T]
