One further note on sending mail from CIS to Internet:  if you use Tapcis (a
PC program to automate CIS sessions), you'll have trouble with long addresses.
In the message editor you can enter as long an address as you like, but
it will get truncated to 30-odd characters when the message gets saved
to the .SND file.  You can manually edit this file to fix the address using
the E command.  I just let Tapcis's author know about this, and he says it'll
be fixed in the next release.

If you haven't got it or some other program like it, I strongly recommend
getting it.  It's shareware (a bit expensive to register, but we're talking
about CI$), and can be downloaded from the TAPCIS forum and some others.
It makes sessions so much cheaper, that you'll probably sign on more often
and end up with higher bills, but much more bang for your bucks.
