    Hi,<br>
    If I go to bbn.com, I find in small letters in the right column a
    link to "The first network email".  When I follow that link, I get
    to <br>

    I don't think it is claimed there that BBN invented email.  I don't
    know what may be claimed on some other Raytheon site.  In the
    decades I was at BBN, lots of us tried to stop BBN people who didn't
    know any better from saying that BBN or Ray Tomlinson invented
    email.  Back in those days we were worried about being fair to the
    people who prior to Ray's demonstration of networked email already
    had what today we call email running within single computers, e.g.,
    within time-sharing systems.  -Dave<br>
