GEnie has said it is working on an Internet mail connection.

There seems to be a lot of interest in it from the GEnie user community; a
``How can I sent mail to an Internet site'' topic gets created every
couple of weeks and almost immediately is closed by the topic police with
a note to the effect that it's being looked into.

You might want to go ahead and get your own GEnie account. It's only
$4.95/month for off-peak access, and email is free. There is a $6/hour
(U.S.) access fee to download files and use most of the computer- related
roundtables and multiuser games (such as Air Warrior). Most of the rest of
the system is free with the basic membership.

No, but GEnie administration keeps saying that there might be some day.
