A guide to email to and from the commercial network, CompuServe.
______________________________________________________________________

Apparently the correct way of emailing to the Internet FROM CompuServe is to 
preface the Internet address with '>Internet:'. i.e. of the following form 
in the 'to:' field of the email note:

>Internet:username@address

This is consistent with other message forms, such as fax ('>Fax:....') used 
by CompuServe.

(A previous note by Randy Padawer leaves out the colon between the word 
'Internet' and the user's address.)

In order to email TO CompuServe (from Internet) is even easier:

nnnnn.nnnn@compuserve.com

where 'nnnnn.nnnn' represents the multi-digit numerical address of the 
Compuserve user. This means that if the CompuServe user had an address of 
12345,1234, then you would send email to him or her using the following 
Internet address:

12345.1234@compuserve.com
