I would like to express my most sincere thanks to everybody who responded
to my question of February 19, regarding a way of sending mail to an IBMmail
user via Internet.  As it turned out, there was an official gateway from
EARN/Internet to IBMMail.  All we needed to know was the x.400 address and
set of attributes of the user at IBMMail.  Then, we used the syntax:

    GIVENNAME.SURNAME@ibmx400-COUNTRY.ibmmail.circe.fr

    where:

          GIVENNAME.SURNAME are two of the user's x.400 attributes
          COUNTRY is US (in our case)

I also got the file IBMMAIL DESCRIPT via anonymous FTP from cism.univ-lyon1.fr,
which explains in detail the process of sending mail from an Internet/EARN site
to an IBMMail user and viceversa.

Thanks again to all of you.  You have been great and helpful.
