  The 2 references that I've run across are:

1. John Quarterman's article in CACM from last fall (summer?).
   He describes the major nets and how to exchange mail between them.

2. IEEE Communications June 1986
   the article is titled "Research Computer Networks and their
   Interconnection".  Has an appendix showing how to send mail
   from one network to another.

  I don't know if the mailing gateways mentioned in either article are
still the same.
