You, as a VAX user, can now send and receive email to and from nearly anywhere
in the world. Figuring out how to specify addresses is not as easy as it could
be, but it mostly works. You will probably not be able to REPLY directly to an
incoming internet or uucp message since the address will most likely become
trashed. MAIL will let you know (it'll say "unable to determine sender" or
"not a valid uucp or internet address"). What you can do is do a FORWARD/EDIT
and use the user's address in the To: prompt to reply to a message.

Your uucp address is (this is the address people would use to send email to
you):

agcvax.agames.com!your_vax_username

For example, my uucp address is:

agcvax.agames.com!shepperd

It's VERY important that the agcvax.agames.com be LOWERCASE. Your username can
be either upper or lowercase, the VAX doesn't care, but the mail routers only
know about our company's name in lowercase.

Some sites may not be able to get through with that address, so you can tell
the sender to add netcomsv.netcom.com! to the front. For example:

netcomsv.netcom.com!agcvax.agames.com!shepperd

which might work better. If neither of those work, then you can try using the
internet address format which is:

[email protected]

for example:

[email protected]

All this is how you tell people how they send email to you. Here's how you
send mail to them:

Startup MAIL as usual use as a To: address the following syntax:

UUCP%"their_internet_or_uucp_address"

The percent sign and the double quotes are REQUIRED. You will also very
probably have to use lowercase characters in the
"their_internet_or_uucp_address". For example (it should match exactly with
case and punctuation how they tell you what their address is):

	$ MAIL
	MAIL>SEND
	To: UUCP%"netcom!shepperd"
	Subj: This is a test
	text of message
	^Z
	MAIL>EXIT

Words outside of the double quotes are not case sensitive.
