       Interesting, I guess its true bout compuserve setting up a
       mail gateway to/from internet (Bout time).

Yup.  It's already passing close to 300 messages/day.

       I assume its 
       userid@compuserve.com in, but how does one get out? I used 
       to have an account, but didnt do anything for me, few years
       back. Just tried with someone who has an active acct, but 
       it wouldnt let do it, and its too new to be in the book.

       anyone have the syntax to send mail to user@domain from  
       compuserve? I ASSUME ofcourse, that the originator will 
       be billed for this benefit. 8-)

[canned response #3267: "How to reach
 people inside CompuServe via email"...]

CompuServe subscriber accounts, being numeric of the form "7xxxx,yyy,"
can be reached via email by addressing the mail to
	7xxxx.yyy@compuserve.com
Note the trading of `.' where `,' would have been.  This keeps the
syntax conformant with the relevant Internet RFCs.

CompuServe employees are (in general) reachable under the
csi.compuserve.com subdomain; thus, address such mail to
	username@csi.compuserve.com

CompuServe subscribers reach people Out Here using a person's normal
address prefixed with ">internet:".  This prefix is CompuServe's
generalized gateway access syntax, and does not appear in headers on
the Internet side of the gateway.  Some additional information
regarding addressing sites Out Here can be obtained via "help
internet" in their mailer.

There is no charge to anyone for use of this gateway.  CompuServe
subscribers are still billed their usual hourly rate for connect time,
but there is no gateway-specific surcharge.
