     Yup, it's possible.  To send mail to someone on CompuServe, take
the person's UID, and exchange the comma for a period.  Then tack on
"@compuserve.COM", and drop it in the mail.  For example, to send
something to me, send mail to "74756.666@compuserve.COM".  (My User ID
is 74756,666.)  To send to INFO, mail to "70215.1034@compuserve.COM".

     That's all there is to it.
