I'm making progress. I found that UK number 447766404142 and it works.
To the email, they append instructions for using the service. The email
itself is a bit misleading as naive recipients are likely to just click
on (R)eply because the From: address is yournumber@theSMSgatewaycompany
but I'm sure that won't succeed in getting a free SMS back to your
mobile.

In the 7250i there are two paths to encountering the "email" option
that I have been asking about. One is: 
MENU >Messages >Text Messages >Create SMS email

The other is when I think I've created an SMS message and go to send it,
I at times encounter an option something like to "send it as email". It
catches me by surprise every time as I'm not expecting it, but I
can't get it on demand so can't state what the exact wording is.

Maybe my title here should have been SEND EMAIL AS SMS??

I got the Optus site to SMS me configuration data for WAP, GPRS and mms.
Alas, this  has not installed a magic number for an SMS email gateway.

Now, I'm wondering whether I can send email using mms? I can create an
mms message, I'm asked for an email address, and the mms gets stored in
the outbox. It looks like it's going to be 1kB regardless of how little
I type as the message. But that's okay, 1kB at the casual rate will cost
only a cent or two I think.($1.20/MB)  But I can't see how I'm  supposed
to actually dispatch what's in the outbox. It just sits there from one
day to the next. How do I send it off?
