Subject: [TUHS] Who is the inventor of email?
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:06:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACYmRNChAjojWUWFLcMYerQnhdXs-h5+R0KTmf+nuEUJXci=cQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've noticed that some guy named Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai is all over
Twitter, claiming that he is the inventor of email. He doesn't look
like he's nearly old enough. I thought it was Ray Tomlinson. Looks
like he's trying to create some press for his Senate run.

Anyone older that me here that can either confirm or deny? Thanks!
