I had to do a lot of reading before I understood what this guy is going on about.<p>- 12 years after the first email-like messages were sent/received at MIT;<p>- 7 years after BBN first transmitted mail between machines;<p>- 5 years after RFC 561;<p>- 3 years after the first commercial email service (Tymshare);<p>- 2 years after RFC 733<p>... He wrote some software with the <i>name</i> "EMAIL".<p>When claiming to have invented something, it is best to have created it before the first RFC on the subject.<p>Just sayin'
