Howdy.
 
I have a friend who will be spending a year in England, at a school which has
Email access, but apparently lacks the "international access" to send email
to the U.S.
 
I have recently been told about re-routing mail, which allows one to send mail
through another school.  Would this then allow her to slip the mail through
to the US?  Does anyone out there know of addresses which she could use to
do this?
 
Also, a friend of mine has been led to believe that, in the UK, these re-
routing addresses must be written backwards, i.e. what would be @ukc.ac.uk
over here must be typed in as @uk.ac.ukc for re-routing purposes...
 
Is this valid?
 
Do any of you have a moderately scant vision of what I might be going on
about?
 
                        Email or posted responses would be terribly helpful.
 
 
                        Thanks bunches,
 
                        ljason@wam.umd.edu.         O-|--<
