- A guide to email to and from the commercial network, CompuServe.
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- Apparently the correct way of emailing to the Internet FROM CompuServe is to
- preface the Internet address with '>Internet:'. i.e. of the following form
- in the 'to:' field of the email note:
-
- >Internet:username@address
-
- This is consistent with other message forms, such as fax ('>Fax:....') used
- by CompuServe.
-
- (A previous note by Randy Padawer leaves out the colon between the word
- 'Internet' and the user's address.)
- ______________________________________________________________________
-
- In order to email TO CompuServe (from Internet) is even easier:
-
- nnnnn.nnnn@compuserve.com
-
- where 'nnnnn.nnnn' represents the multi-digit numerical address of the
- Compuserve user. This means that if the CompuServe user had an address of
- 12345,1234, then you would send email to him or her using the following
- Internet address:
-
- 12345.1234@compuserve.com
