- To send email to a GEnie account, append "@genie.geis.com" to the
- recipient's GEnie address.

- However, the catch is that GEnie users have to agree to pay an extra
- monthly charge before they can send or receive Internet mail. Not a great
- bargain, particularly compared to rival Compuserve -- which is
- particularly odd since in most other respects GEnie seems to be going for
- the low-price market niche. (They certainly aren't selling system response.)
