Subject: sending mail to pesky compuserve addresses

Hi --- I checked info sources and FAQs, but couldn't
find info on this problem:

How does one get around the "," character in Compuserve
e-mail addresses?

If I want to send to xxxxx,[email-masked], Pine
interprets this as a send to xxxxx@<mydomain> and to
[email-masked].  I've tried enclosing it in various
combinations of angle brackets, single- and double-quotes,
all to no avail!

(I seem to remember something about replacing the ","
with a ".", but that's pretty foggy in my memory...)

Thanks for any help you can give, and my apologies
if this is an "old-hat" question.

    That is *exactly* what you do -- replace the comma with a period.
