Rich, You may have misundestood Chris's question, as I had the same problem with the strong wording of your statement. It sounded like you meant that MSU demands that everyone have an e-mail account outside of MSU, and then that everyone have all their MSU e-mail forwarded to that account, which would be absurd. I think you only meant that MSU will send official mail only to msu.edu addresses, which means users need do nothing if they already get their mail at msu.edu, but those who use a foreign system must *then* forward their msu.edu mail to their foreign address. Did I get that right? I think that's all that Chris was wondering about. Regards, -- dkm >MSU requires, in particular, that students understand that official >MSU mail will come to their <http://msu.edu>msu.edu e-mail >address. MSU wiill no loger send official paper mail to students. > >Listen carefully, Chris. Paper mail is no longer.
