Are you sure the poster was an MCI Mail employee on not an employee of
MCI Telephone?  I don't remember the MCI Mail.

Turns out that MCI Mail wouldn't benefit because of a quirk in the MCI
Mail Fax Dispatch service - you can't send faxes to 800 numbers.  I
doubt that MCIT would see a blip in their earnings as a result of
faxes sent by MCIT indicating a lack of support for Barr.
