You should be able to if you put UUCP in the To: field and the email address 
as the *first* line in the message body (using this method it's really no 
different than addressing netmail messages).
The format for typing in the email address in the message body is:
To: joeblow@finklestein.com
Now press the Enter key *twice* so that there is an empty line between the 
email address and where you start typing in the rest of your message.  Notice 
that the "To:" part must be hard against the left hand margin and also there 
must be a space between it and the email address.

She will be able to send via a UUCP gateway as long as she has a valid 
netmail area and a valid connection to a UUCP gateway or will forward your 
Fidonet gated email to a valid UUCP gateway.

If your sysop doesn't have direct access to a UUCP gateway, then get her to 
either check the nodelist for systems flying the UUCP flag or get her to send 
you a copy of the nodelist to check for yourself.
 JV> The BBS/BlueWave method is best, and I have JUNO.
Check out the names function for bluewave.......it will allow you to alias 
the UUCP gateway address so you don't have to enter it each time you reply to 
an email message.
