James Robert O'Donnell Jr. asked if it was possible to send InterNet
mail to commercial information services...
 
As far as I know, the ONLY commercial "pay service" that is
connected into the InterNet is CompuServe.
 
You can send InterNet mail to a CompuServe subscriber if you
know their CIS account number...
 
The address to use is:  <CIS Account.Number>@Compuserve.com
 
For example, if the person you want to send mail to has a
CIS account number of  712345,0123  you would address your
mail to them as:
 
         712345.0123@Compuserve.com
 
NOTE... while CIS accounts use a COMMA in the account numbers,
INTERNET mail  *must*  use a PERIOD..
 
It works... I've done it...
