3.16 How can I send mail to an "hpdesk" address?

For a person whose DESK address is:
  JANE DOE /HP1234/XY

Ignore the subentity (XY) and use the form:
  jane_doe@hp1234.desk.hp.com

Send them a test message and tell them to make a note of the return address,
as forming internet addresses on DESK is a little more complicated.  If
there is an X.400 system between you and the DESK person, what you get back
may look like a very strange internet address, but it generally works.

Notice the underscore between names.  Names can be first_last or last_first,
but first_last is easier to remember and get correct, especially if they have
initials in their name as in fred_l_doe@hpatc1.desk.hp.com.  Be sure that the
DESK address they give you is exactly what is reported by DESK when they send
a message to themselves or look at the distribution list on a piece of mail
the recipient already has to verify the address.
