Do not listen to this Shaya guy. I actually interviewed Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf, the two guys at DARPA that coded the first email system in the late 1970s-early 80s. Cerf made the first commercial deployment of the technology as strategy chief at MCI. It was called MCI Mail. Timeframe is around 1984-85. MCI Mail initially was used for internal communications, since there was no commercial Internet at the time. This Shaya guy had nothing to do with any of that engineering.
