GEnie now has its Internet mail gateway running for "beta test".
Send email to user@genie.geis.com.  

However, you can't send email to just any GEnie user.  You can only
send email to users who have signed up for "Internet mail service",
which costs an extra $9.95 per month over and above other GEnie fees.
Sending email to the Internet costs $.40 per message.  There is no
per-message charge to receive Internet email.

In my opinion (which I've shared with GEnie FEEDBACK) this is absurd.
A reasonable per-message charge is OK, ($.40 seems a bit high, but
isn't too exhorbitant) and maybe a one-time setup would (grumble
grumble) be acceptable, but a $9.95 per month recurring fee is just
plain out of the question.  This is twice what I'm currently paying
for GEnie, the $4.95 "Basic Services" charge, and seems completely
out of line to me.
