|11111.4444@compuserve.com

|It is very important to replace the comma in the CIS ID with a period when

Also, to get mail from CIS to us here in the real world [ :^) ], the
address is of the form:

	>internet: geoff@winco.inel.gov

or

	>internet: uunet!pmafire!geoff

(the '>' is part of the address)
