(Telecom Canada is an association of Canada's major telephone companies, the largest of which is Bell Canada.) * forwarding a message originally from phil@shl.com (Phil Trubey) Due to the fairly large number of requests for this info, I've decided to post the following info. I've used it a couple of times and it seems to work. To reach someone with an Envoy account, send your message with the following address in the "To:" field: /ID=envoy_id/S=last_name/G=first_name/I=F/SITE=TELECOM.CANADA/ @GEMINI.ARC.NASA.GOV For example, if you want to send a message to Peter Jones, whose Envoy ID is "p.jones", send to the following address: /ID=P.JONES/S=JONES/G=PETER/I=F/SITE=TELECOM.CANADA/ @GEMINI.ARC.NASA.GOV NOTE! 1) The address line must be all capital letters. 2) This is actually one long line. It is broken into two lines in these examples so it will fit within 80 characters. 3) The person receiving the message pays for BOTH the cost of sending the message and receiving the message. As you can see, Envoy addresses tend to be very long. You may want to use some of the advanced features of your mail program to save the addresses of people you frequently send to. For example, the Popmail mailer provided with NSTN has a "Group" menu that lets you save the addresses of one or more people, and mail to them by picking a selection off a menu. How can people mail to me from Envoy? To mail to you, they must do two things: 1) Send their Envoy message to the following address: [INTERNETMAIL@NASA]NASAMAIL/TELEMAIL/US 2) The first line of text in their message must be: To: your_user_id@your_address For example, if your user ID is "jsmith" and you address is "fox.nstn.ns.ca", the first line of the message would be: To: jsmith@fox.nstn.ns.ca Phil Trubey | Internet: phil@shl.com SHL Systemhouse Inc. | UUCP: ...!uunet!shl!phil 50 O'Connor St., Suite 501 | Phone: 613-236-6604 x667 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Fax: 613-236-2043
