SUMMARY
=======

You may not be able to send e-mail from MSN, The Microsoft Network, to X.400
addresses.

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

X.400 is a UNIX-based protocol for e-mail. Although MSN supports the SMTP
standard required to send e-mail to X.400 addresses, most X.400 addresses (when
properly formatted using SMTP syntax) exceed the 64-character length limit for
addresses in MSN mail.
