Other networks may use different electronic mail addressing schemes within their own networks. To be used in Internet e-mail, these addresses often need to be modified.
For example, within CompuServe an e-mail address consists only of two numbers separated by a comma: 36547,891.
To convert this to an
address that can be used on the Internet, the comma is changed to a period and the number
serves as the username.

compuserve.com, so the Internet address would be: [email protected]
