[comp.sys.mac.misc] How to mail out of AppleLink to Internet?

halam1@ub.d.umn.edu (Haseen I. Alam) (11/06/90)

 Hi there,

 Well I know it is possible to send mails from internet to AppleLink.  But
 now I need to forward a mail from AppleLink to internet.  I get the
 following heading on the internet mail.  

TO REPLY, use: halam1@ub.d.umn.edu@INTERNET#
Using the reply function in AppleLink does not work for gatewayed E-mail yet.
 
 Now where or how do I find the internet number?  What is the right syntax?  
 All my attempts have failed so far.  Please email the replies to me.  Any
 helpful gesture is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

 Haseen.

Beg to differ.  AppleLink is a service of Apple Computer, and is only
available to Developers, retailers and their ilk.  You have to be
qualified before they'll sell you a subscription.  Apple and Quantum
had once planned to market what is now AO under the name "AppleLink Personal
Edition," but for some reason Apple backed out of the deal, so Quantum
had to change the name.

>P.S.  How >>DO<< you send mail from AppleLink (America Online) to Internet?
>I'd like to do that...

Yeah, me too.  However, AO doesn't have a connection to the Internet,
so the answer is "you don't." AppleLink, which is a separate service,
does have such a connection.

To the best of my knowledge, AppleLink is very much still AppleLink (a service
run by Apple, connecting it to dealers, developers and other special people),
while America On-Line is a separate, commercial service for just plain users.
AOL was at first being developed in cooperation with Apple, and would have
received the name "AppleLink Personal Edition" or some such, along with a
subset of AppleLink's capabilities and some consumer-oriented stuff.  Apple
pulled out and took the AppleLink name with it before AOL was launched.
