This is a little tricky, and the information does come from the Mail Guide...

#F fidonet
#T internet
#R user@domain
#I send to "uucp" at nearest gateway site
#I first line of message: "To: user@domain"

The trick lies in the system where the reply is to be posted to know who is
it's uucp gateway--this isn't always easy, and is something the sysop needs
to configure.

I would send a message (to myself) by entering...

From (in the Fidonet mail editor): Ralph Sims
To: uucp@1:343/8 (I'm just using this, as I have no idea who the Net 343
    gateway is--just an example).
Subject: Whatever

The first line of the text would read: To: halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu,
flush left, and containing a valid fqdn (fully-qualified domain name)
address.

The Fidonet magic spells will be invoked and the message speeds on its way.
