SUMMARY
=======

Below is a list of the free form addressing formats for Microsoft Mail Gateways
for access with Microsoft Mail for Windows. The address formats include
addressing from Microsoft Mail to the following address types.

NOTE: Free form addressing means that instead of picking a recipient from a
address list, the sender can type in the address, in formats described below, in
the To: field of the Windows Mail client. The customer must have an existing
gateway to the mail environment the message is addressed to. AT&T

  Example: [SMTP:Gatename!JohnS]
