Seems I was misunderstood by some to be suggesting that there is not
presently a "simple, readable, business-card-printable, E-mail address".
My point was that there has not been a simple, etc, etc, X.400 E-mail
address spec proffered, not that the existing RFC822 addresses do not
meet those criteria.  A couple of earlier responders also noted this
obvious alternative; I have to note that I thought it was so obvious that
I did not mention it explicitly.
