Sorry, the NPR story, without mentioning the names of either service,
was in reference to the compuserve account and the America on Line
account. Currently there are no solid plans publicly available as to
what will happen to that address. The Director of Electronic Publishing
and Public Access E-mail is a one-man office at this point.

Transcripts of speeches, photo-ops etc., executive order texts and
position papers, and other stuff of this ilk are distributed through the
clinton@marist listserv. These are not currently available via ftp - yet.

I didn't hear the NPR broadcast, but there was a feature last week in the
Chicago Tribune (Chicagoland section) on "famous people's email addresses".
The "famous people" were generally media people, like Rush Limbaugh (!!), but
the Clinton address did get published: 75300.3115@Compuserve.com.  There were
some netnews posts last week telling the story of this new communication
feature -- it's a one-person operation at this point, so don't bother to send
stuff as yet (the compuserve mailbox was frequently flooded)...   Still, a
good sign.
