[news.newusers.questions] Can we email into GEnie?

johnson@epoch.enet.dec.com (02/15/90)

Does anyone know how to send email to a user on GE's GEnie network?  I can send
to Compuserve but haven't been able to find any documentation re: GEnie.

Many thanks -

GEnie's answer to this is always "some day soon, but not yet."  Currently the
only methods are to open a GEnie account yourself, get your GEnie friend onto
the net, or find someone who already has both to transfer the file for you.
