Subject: Addressing CompuServe Mail users
There are two types of CompuServe Mail addresses. They can be
reached from the Internet as follows:
a) Members of the CompuServe Information Service have an address
(a.k.a. User ID) of the form "xxxxx,yyyy", such as "70000,11".
To send mail to such an address from the Internet, change the
comma to a period and attach "@CompuServe.com". For instance:
70000.11@CompuServe.com
b) Members of organizations with a private CompuServe Mail area have
an address of the form "organization:name", such as "ABC:J.SMITH".
To send mail to such an address from the Internet, send it to
"name@organization.CompuServe.com". For instance:
J.SMITH@ABC.CompuServe.com
A few organizations have addresses which also include a department
in the form "organization:department:name", such as
"ABC:ACCTG:JOHN". To send mail to such an address from the
Internet, send to "name@department.organization.CompuServe.com".
For instance:
JOHN@ACCTG.ABC.CompuServe.com
There are also a number of special destinations available to users of
CompuServe Mail which are NOT accessible from the Internet,
including:
Facsimile Delivery (e.g. >FAX: )
Postal Delivery (e.g. >POSTAL: )
Telex Delivery (e.g. >TLX: )
MCI Mail Delivery (e.g. >MCIMAIL: )
Finally, please realize that only CompuServe Mail users have access
to our member directory. Since there is no mechanism for you to
obtain addresses directly from CompuServe Incorporated, you should
obtain this information from the individuals with whom you wish to
correspond. Thank you.
