-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

With version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, if you want to enter
addresses directly on the To: line, without first adding them to your Personal
Address Book (PAB), you should enclose the address in square brackets.

For example, to send mail to a Microsoft Mail user, type the following:

  "[MS:<network>/<postoffice>/<user>]" (without the quotation
  marks)

To send mail to an AT&T user, type

  "[AT&T:!<user>]" (without the quotation marks)

MORE INFORMATION
================

Addressing mail to an AT&T Mail user is a unique case, because you must add
the exclamation point character (!) in the address.

For more information, query on the following words here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

  "MailPCWin" (without the quotation marks) and "mailing" (without the
  quotation marks) and "address" (without the quotation marks) and "list"
  (without the quotation marks)


Additional query words: 3.20 gateway foreign
