First, don't use all uppercase when sending email.  It is taken to mean
you are SHOUTING.

Second, pine is an email user agent.  For locating a person's email
address you should go to the World Wide Web and use one of the various
search agents.

Third, even though it may be gotten easily, don't send people's telephone
numbers to mailing lists or usenet newsgroups.  It just isn't wise.

Fourth, since you have her phone number....why not call *her* and ask her
what her email address is????  This way you can be sure to get the correct
address.

Fifth, if it is too expensive for you to call her...then send airmail and
include your email address and ask her to email you back.  

Oh, sixth, don't send out residential addresses either....same reason..
it isn't wise.

Regards,

Ed
