At the beginning of August I asked the question

	"How do I transfer mail between my Internet account and an AT&T
	 EasyLink (Instant Mail Service) account?"

Thanks to the following people for their help:

	Mark Jackson	(mjackson@attmail.com)
	Alan Toscano	(atoscano@attmail.com)
	Michel Perdreau	(mperdrea@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu)
	David A. Roth	(david@roth-music.com)

The answer is:

	To send mail from Internet to EasyLink IMS, use the address
		62xxxxxx@eln.attmail.com
	To send mail from EasyLink to Internet, use the address
		IPM
		PRIMARY
		COUNTRY US
		ADMD ATTMAIL
		ORG UUCP
		DDA ID-INTERNET!!SYDNEY.TPS.COM!!DAVIDS
		END+
	
Internet to EasyLink works as advertised. I have not verified EasyLink
to Internet yet. Note that in the DDA line, ! is used to escape
lowercase letters. !! is used for a single ! in the address. Thus,
if my username had to be in lowercase, the line would be
		DDA ID-INTERNET!!SYDNEY.TPS.COM!!!D!A!V!I!D!S
