Hello; I have a need to send messages to compuserve on accasion. They use a comma in the address. newalias and elm will not, at present, allow the use of comma's in the address. How can I send such mail? An email responce will be best. If there is enough interrest I will post a composite answer. My email address is bel@nosc.mil bel These are my opinions. I do not speak for NOSC.

I thought you could put periods where the commas go, e.i., mmmmmmm.nnnnnnn@compuserv.com, and things would go swimmingly. I have an Elm alias like that.

From the internet, a Compu$erve address has a dot, not a comma. I.e. the CI$ user id 123,45678 becomes 123.45678@compuserve.com. -- Randy Bush / news@psg.com / ..!uunet!m2xenix!news
