Patrick Townson asked that people familiar with sending mail from
various commercial networks to the Internet relate the process to the
telecom community.  I am on MCI Mail.  The procedure for sending to
the internet is as follows:

	1) Use the "CREATE" command as usual.
	2) At the "TO:" prompt, type in the person's name followed by
           "(ems)".  In other words, follow the person's name with the
	   letters "ems" in parentheses.  The person's name is really
	   not used, but is useful for user-friendly purposes.
	3) MCI Mail will notice the "(ems)" and prompt you for an
	   External Mail System (EMS).  At the "EMS:" prompt, type
	   "internet".  There are other networks you can use here,
	   by the way -- type "HELP EMS" to find out what they are.
	4) Next, MCI Mail will prompt you for the mailbox.  At the
	   "MBX:" prompt, type in the Internet address.  I.e.
	   "ejs@goldhill.com".
        5) MCI Mail will then ask you to verify the address name and
	   then will continue with further "TO:" prompts.
	6) You can use the same process for the "CC:" prompts.
	7) Everything else is as usual.
