: I've read the mailaddr man page but have found little in books/tutorials.
: Is there a "definitive reference" that discusses how to do the conversion.

I don't have time for a long reply (dinner calls!) but the short
answer is, if you can send mail to uunet, mail to
uunet!jail.usa.gov!noreiga should do the trick.

: Sorry if this has been addressed before, I'm new to talking over the net.
