It will be interesting to here how this works.  I have been advised somewhat
differently, i.e., that since the mail must pass thru UUCP, the username and
domain address _must_ be in lowercase.  However, since the output driver on
EasyLink is upper case, to send lower case letters to Internet, each letter 
_must_ be prefixed with a !.  For example, to send from EasyLink to me would be

IPM
Subject (optional)
PRIMARY
COU US
ADM ATTMAIL
ORG ATTMAIL
DDA ID-INTERNET!!!w!r!a!i!r-!e!m!h1.!a!r!m!y.!m!i!l!!!n!a!u!e!n

This supposedly pertains only to customers on the old EasyLink, formerly owned 
by Western Union and now owned by AT+T.  Further help may be available from

EasyLink customers on ATTMail, who were never part of the Western Union system,
supposedly can send more simply, using lowercase letters as desired.

/C=US/ADMD=ATTMAIL/O=UUCP/DDA.ID=internet(b)wrair-emh1.army.mil(b)nauen/+

Mail _from_ Internet which reaches an EasyLink user supposedly contains a
return address in the format and syntax shown>
