   No, go right ahead.  Remember that GEnie charges nothing for mail within
   GEnie, whereas CompuServe does charge for [sending] mail within CompuServe.

That didn't ring quite true to me, so I asked someone at CompuServe
about this.

If you are a pay-as-you-go subscriber, there are no charges aside from
connect time.

If you are a flat-rate subscriber, you are charged based on the size
of the message, but there is an initial allowance of approx 60
1-2Kbyte messages before those additional charges start.

That would cover quite a lot of email, for most folk.
