I'm trying to establish an email connection with an HP employee who
has told me that his user name is "ajo'brien" and his machine name
is "hp6650/26".  So I tried mailing to him using the following 
address:

	ajo'brien%hp6650/26@hp.com

I got bounced mail from relay.hp.com saying that I have an invalid
machine name (in fact, hp6650/26 sounds more like a machine model
number to me).  No one in his office seems to know how to send mail
to the outside world.  Can someone from HP (or anyone else who has
accomplished this feat) tell me how to go about sending e-mail
from an internet address to an internal HP address?  Please
reply to me directly since I am not receiving this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance,
