Here's how to send mail to a user using MCIMail's Remote Electronic 
Messaging Service (REMS).  This system allows remote mail systems (cc:Mail, 
in our case) to send<->receive mail from MCIMail.  A REMS mailbox is exactly 
like an individual's mailbox.  You must have the mailbox name or number of 
the remote system as well as the user's address on that remote system (cc:
Mail's is easy... It's just our full name).  The format is fairly simple:

if the user's address is 'Remote Address' and the mailbox name is 
'Mailbox Name' then the internet address is:

Remote_Address%Mailbox_Name@mcimail.com

OR

if the remote mail system's mailbox number is 9999999 then the internet 
address is:

Remote_Address%9999999@mcimail.com

Note that underscores should be used where spaces would be.
