HELP!
 
I am trying to send an E-mail message to one MA.WILSON who is on 
Bell Canada INET (the ENVOY system).
 
++++++
 
I have read the "Inter-Network Mail Guide", which recommended that I 
send to:
 
/C=CA/ADMD=TELECOM.CANADA/DD.ID=userid/PN=John_Smith/@Sprint.COM
 
However, my mail program doesn't have room for all those characters 
in the address, so I sent it to:
 
    /C=CA/ADMD=TELECOM.CANADA/DD.ID=MA.WILSON/@Sprint.COM
 
and to
 
    /C=CA/ADMD=TELECOM.CANADA/PN=ma_wilson/@Sprint.COM
 
and both times got the message back, saying that there was an 
"ORName" problem ... whatever that is.
 
++++++
 
Another possible way to route the message is to send it to:
 
    uunet.uu.net!att!attmail!mhs!envoy!MA.WILSON
 
...but I can't seem to use "bang-addressing" in my mail reader.
 
++++++
 
Can anyone either (a) tell me how to get the SprintMail server to 
work, or (b) convert the bang-address into an @ address?
 
A response by E-Mail would be much appreciated!
