| Is there a way to send mail to a user on Genie?

Depends on the user; it's an extra-cost option for which a GEnie user must
presubscribe.

| How?

If your friend on GEnie has paid to join the Internet email gateway, address
mail to GEmailname@genie.geis.com; that's the email name, not the login ID.
Current prices for the gateway (since 11/1/92) are $2 once to sign up and
30c per 5000 characters or fraction thereof for both incoming and outgoing
letters.  [For those of you hot to say that you read different rates, they
may have been the original ones: $9.95 per *month*, 40c per 5000 characters
in outgoing letters, no charge for incoming mail.]

GEnie's reply command does not work (last I checked) on mail that arrived
through the Internet gateway.  A response must be hand-addressed to 
user@site.domain@inet# -- yes, that's two "@"'s and a "#".  The "user@site.-
domain" part must be thirty-two characters or shorter, but GEnie knows that
that's a problem and it might be fixed some day.

Mail addressed through the gateway to the valid GEmail name of a GEnie user
who hasn't subscribed to the gateway (or who has quit it) will bounce.
