Craig, the Internet-GEnie link only works if the GEnie subscriber has signed up
for the option to receive mail from Internet (it's an extra cost goodie, payable
by the Kb of traffic received).

To send mail from the Internet to a GEnie subscriber, you must know his or her
GEnie mail address and then tack geis.com on the end of it.  For example, to
send mail to GEnie address J.SMITH24, you would use

	j.smith24.geis.com

That's the way it is supposed to work but to be honest, I've experienced 
troubles with the link as have others.  Maybe it's sunspots, I dunno.  :)
