- It will be interesting to here how this works. I have been advised somewhat
- differently, i.e., that since the mail must pass thru UUCP, the username and
- domain address _must_ be in lowercase. However, since the output driver on
- EasyLink is upper case, to send lower case letters to Internet, each letter
- _must_ be prefixed with a !. For example, to send from EasyLink to me would be
-
- IPM
- Subject (optional)
- PRIMARY
- COU US
- ADM ATTMAIL
- ORG ATTMAIL
- DDA ID-INTERNET!!!w!r!a!i!r-!e!m!h1.!a!r!m!y.!m!i!l!!!n!a!u!e!n

- This supposedly pertains only to customers on the old EasyLink, formerly owned
- by Western Union and now owned by AT+T. Further help may be available from

- Chuck Kiefe, Supervisor, Major Accounts; ATTMAIL Customer Support;
- Telephone 314-298-9422
-
- EasyLink customers on ATTMail, who were never part of the Western Union system,
- supposedly can send more simply, using lowercase letters as desired.
