Postings on the Info-Nets list have discussed this, but the recommended
address syntax is somewhat different.  It is:

    GIVENNAME.SURNAME@ibmx400-COUNTRY.ibmmail.circe.fr

COUNTRY is the country code of the ibmer, surname is normally the
last name of the person, and givenname is a name given by mother
blue which is something like the first chars of the last name
followed by the initials but never longer than 7 chars.

The mail _always_ goes through the gateway in France, no matter where
the IBM person is.  So your first example address would be

     figovhm.figov@ibmx400-gb.ibmmail.circe.fr

and the second would be 

     xxxxzz.xxxx@ibmx400-us.ibmmail.circe.fr

On the other hand, that was back in February.  You might find that your
US correspondent can now be reached with something like

     zxxxx@ibmmail.com

More information might be available from the postmaster there.
