I'm responding here in case there are others who are afraid to ask.
Send mail to:

xxxxx.yyyy@compuserve.com

where:  xxxxx.yyyy is the user's CompuServe account number with
        a dot instead of a comma.  For example, you could send me mail
        (and minimal flames) at:

        70004.1256@compuserve.com

Sorry, but our mailer does not recognize the $ as in compu$erve.com.
