- I used to search for AppleLink ID's from a LAN using QuickMail. I'm not
- sure if this was some special service provided by the QuickMail<->AppleLInk
- gateway, or if the mail was simply sent on to AppleLink. On the assumption
- that the latter is the case, let me pass on the following tidbit: Subject
- line 'UserID Search*' (with the asterisk, without the qoutes), content
- of the message was the search string.
-
- If this works from Internet, you should get a reply shortly afterwards with
- a list of all matching names and the ALink addresses.
-
- Oh, I almost forgot who to address the mail to. Unfortunately, I don't have
- access to aforementioned LAN right now, so I can't check that out.
-
- Noah, maybe you could check this out?

- subject line must be 'UserID Search*'
