Does compuserve have a fullname database equating numeric IDs with
real names?  It dosen't seem that it would take much to implement and
it would be much easier to send mail to moe_larry_lastname@compuserve.com
than 12345.6789@compuserve.com.

Of course there's always the problem of duplicate names.

just a thought
