They just extended it through August, and anyone on bitnet can sen or receive
from anyone on Applelink.  The format is:

From Bitnet-Applelink:

In the To: field, XB.DAS@STANFORD.BITNET
In the Subject: field, USER1@APPLELINK!Optional Actual Subject

From Applelink-Bitnet:

In the To: field, DASNET
In the Subject: field, USER1.ADDRESS@STANFORD.BITNET!Optional Actual Subject

I just tried it and it works.  Now to get Apple people to use it...
